INTERVIEW: Dan Campbell originally wanted to keep wearing pads when he went from player to coach.
The Lions head coach has evolved and learned a lot since, and that includes learning from last year’s 9-8 “gut punch.”
Campbell shared why his six-year bond with Jared Goff is so special, why Drew Petzing is the right OC for Goff and the Lions right now, and how meaningful it is to see young players become fathers — all while working together to lead Detroit to a place they’ve never been.
Running total on money that Dylan Larkin is giving up as he demands a trade: $41K per day.

Track just how much salary Dylan Larkin is forfeiting by refusing to play for the Red Wings, second-by-second! #LGRW
Dylan Larkin's time with the Red Wings has reached a closing point.
"To put it simply, we received the call from Dylan's agent today just saying that Dylan no longer was going to be coming to the rink and no longer wants to be a part of the Red Wings," interim general manager Shawn Horcoff said on Thursday.
The trade request remains in place, and the Red Wings will look to find a trade partner. Horcoff said he's ideally seeking NHL-ready players, but is open to any deals.
Shawn Horcoff said he tried to convince Dylan Larkin to stay in Detroit. Larkin and his camp held firm with the trade request to leave the Red Wings.
"For a large part Dylan kind of overcame the biggest hurdle, really, which was coming back and facing the initial (questions) from you guys and get on the ice for the first time with the fans," Horcoff said.
"My initial plan was to try to fix it. I wanted to try to do what I could to keep Dylan here and in a Red Wing jersey, and clearly I was unsuccessful doing that."
Patrick Kane received a grand ovation from Red Wings fans in his return to Detroit. The team played a tribute video for his time here.

Shawn Horcoff addressed what the Red Wings hope to get in return for Dylan Larkin.
"I think the goal is to get players that can help us right away, but at the same time the vision and the ultimate goal is the long-term success of the organization,” he said Thursday.
“I'm open to all different kinds of deals, and really we're just trying to find something that is fair, for a return, for someone of Dylan's caliber. He's a heck of a player on a good contract.”

The Lions are working for a better outcome against the Vikings blitz than the pair of matchups during the 2025 season. Respect for Minnesota is real, and so is the excitement for the matchup.
Jahmyr Gibbs said the run game is key. Jared Goff said his timing will be critical. Amon-Ra St. Brown said blocking and protecting Goff are crucial points of emphasis.
Jahmyr Gibbs was confused when he looked at the Lions practice report from Wednesday that had him listed with a shoulder injury.
"I was confused," he said. "I just got dinged up a little bit, like a little shoulder thing but I'm good."
Gibbs said the pain came from a third down play against the Packers, when he made a one-handed catch and the Green Bay defender landed on him.
Lions injury report from Thursday: mostly everyone returned to full practice participation.
Jahmyr Gibbs acknowledged his shoulder hurt after a hit during the Green Bay game, but said he's fine.

Great vs. great: Jared Goff and the high-flying Lions offense is preparing to face the Vikings and the NFL’s top defense.
"It's a fun challenge," Goff said. "You want to play the best, you want to beat the best... I think they're really good. I think we're really good too."
Dylan Larkin appears to be done playing for the Detroit Red Wings.
“Larkin feels he's given the team ample time since his trade request in May to get a deal done,” @PierreVLeBrun wrote on Thursday.
“Larkin has had enough, so (the) decision was made he won't play tonight nor for foreseable future hoping a trade materializes.”
Dylan Larkin will not play in tonight’s Red Wings game, Todd McLellan told reporters on Thursday. He said interim GM Shawn Horcoff will address the situation with a statement.
“Trade talks have escalated,” @PierreVLeBrun reports.
Aidan Hutchinson hosted the Lions annual Halloween party, thanks to some strong-arming from Amon-Ra St. Brown 😂
Hutchinson revealed he dressed as Waluigi from the land of Super Mario Bros., leaning into fans teasing the way he runs.

Lions safety Kerby Joseph caught Jared Goff off guard on Wednesday.
"He's out there on the scout team, looking me in the eye, and I'm like 'When the hell did you get out here?'" Goff said, smiling.
Joseph returned to practice, opening up his 21-day window after his knee injury kept him sidelined for over a year.
Awesome gesture. Fantastic stuff from Pat Murphy 🤣
Jake Bauers gifted Pat Murphy the final out ball. Murphy thanked him and told him
“You’re gonna be a rich fucker. Just remember when you’re on that horse shit Yankee team and you’re all playing for yourselves….just remember this is way we used to do it”
