Video: Breaking down the Lions offensive line depth chart and potential ahead of training camp

The latest in the series of Detroit Lions positional breakdowns is now available to watch and stream. Recorded via the Detroit Lions Podcast, this edition goes over the offensive line room as it stands heading into training camp.

From the excellent starting five, which many feel is the best in the league, through the veteran depth and the rookies, this one covers coach Hank Fraley’s unit. What is in line for rookies Christian Mahogany and Giovanni Manu? Can a newcomer like Netane Muti seize a reserve spot over a holdover like Kayode Awosika? What’s the backup plan behind All-Pro center Frank Ragnow?

All that and more in this video, which I recorded during the week.

Getting ready for Detroit Lions training camp, the Detroit Lions Podcast kicks off the positional depth chart previews with the tight end room.

As the video here leads off with, there aren’t a lot of questions about the top dog. Sam LaPorta is coming off an amazing rookie campaign and could do even more in his second season. After LaPorta, things do get a little more complex and competitive.

Where do Brock Wright, Shane Zylstra, Parker Hesse and James Mitchell all fit in the pecking order> How many tight ends will the team keep? Could Mitchell really not make the roster?

All that and more in the short video here.

Watch: Lions rookie minicamp report via the Detroit Lions Podcast

Watch: Lions rookie minicamp report via the Detroit Lions Podcast from Lions Wire’s Jeff Risdon

Friday marked the start of the Detroit Lions rookie minicamp, the first chance to see the newcomers to the team in action. It was the only session of the three-day rookie event open to the media, and it was one worth the trip to Allen Park to catch the debut of all the rookie newcomers.

It was a good time to check out the draft class of 2024 on its first day in a Lions uniform. Knowing that it’s the first day of any sort of practice, the first experience with the coaching staff and the first time many of these guys have had live football action in six months, it’s important to not read too much into the action. Even so, first impressions are important.

How did Terrion Arnold do at cornerback? What was it like to see Giovanni Manu in action? Who stood out amongst the undrafted rookies? What was the coaching staff like without Dan Campbell in attendance?

All of that and much more gets covered in the video recap here, produced via the Detroit Lions Podcast.

Video: Breaking down the Lions draft picks injury histories with Dr. Liao

Video: Breaking down the Lions draft picks injury histories with Dr. Jimmy Liao and the Detroit Lions Podcast

As the Detroit Lions rookie class gets ready for the first minicamp later this week, it’s a good time to look at the injury status of the players the Lions drafted. In conjunction with the Detroit Lions Podcast, Dr. Jimmy Liao goes over the medical history and outlooks for all the Lions draftees.

Starting out with a good lesson on the importance of age in prospects, Dr. Liao then progresses into the medical outlooks for the Lions draft picks.

Terrion Arnold earns a pretty clean bill of health, but Dr. Liao spends a lot of time on second-round pick Ennis Rakestraw and his injury history, which includes multiple lower-body surgeries at a young age. There’s a great breakdown of what exactly “core muscle” surgery entails and how it applies to Rakestraw, who carries the biggest injury concern.
