After an exhaustive grind of a regular season, the NFL playoffs are finally upon us. There's no shortage of juicy narrative

Rakestraw, Detroit’s second-round pick, has been dealing with a hamstring injury. It sounds like he has a good chance to return from injured reserve at some point during the playoffs. With Arnold banged up and Davis set to miss the rest of the season, getting a talented corner like Rakestraw back would be nice for Detroit’s secondary depth.

Dan Campbell offers updates on several injured Lions players ahead of the playoffs, including a quick return for Montgomery and Arnold

The bye week could be a critical opportunity for the injury-struck Lions to get healthier. Campbell told reporters that running back David Montgomery is expected to return after missing the final three games of the season with a knee injury.

Dan Campbell likely didn’t have ill-intent behind it, but his quip to Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell after the Lions beat Minnesota in Sunday’s season finale may come back to bite both teams in the rear end.

For the first time in franchise history, the Detroit Lions have earned a playoff bye. It's an unprecedented success for a team that just won two playoff games in the same season for the first time in over 60 years in 2023.

After their latest victory over the Vikings, Dan Campbell's Detroit Lions eagerly await their Bye Week ahead of their debut in the NFL Playoffs. The NFL regular season wrapped up this past weekend, and now all that’s left is to wait for the highly anticipated playoff matchups.
