Overview
- Kareem Hunt visited the Lions' facility on Tuesday, Aug. 25, and left without a contract with reporters saying a deal is not imminent.
- Detroit has made Jahmyr Gibbs the clear lead back after trading David Montgomery to Houston and signing Gibbs to a major extension.
- Isiah Pacheco has been sidelined with an MCL sprain and coaches say they expect him to be ready for the regular season, which has prompted the team to evaluate extra depth.
- Hunt produced 611 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns in 2025 and is valued for short‑yardage conversions, but his career also includes a 2018 off‑field incident that teams consider in evaluations.
- The Lions have been active in late August on multiple fronts, signing depth pieces such as Roydell Williams and holding tryouts for two cornerbacks as they finalize their Week 1 roster choices.
