Longa's injury sets back Lions linebacker corps:  http://www.journalgazette.net/sports/professional/nfl/20180821/longas-injury-sets-back-lions-linebacker-corps

NFC preseason grades, Week 2: Josh Rosen, Daron Payne excel (Detroit Lions: Ameer Abdullah, RB. The former preseason "Hype Bunny" could find himself on the roster bubble if he continues to struggle with ball security in games. Against the Giants, Abdullah flubbed an exchange with Matthew Stafford in the backfield and muffed a kick return. Considering how Lions coach Matt Patricia despises turnovers, Abdullah's fumbling woes could put him on the hot seat in Week 3.

Preseason Week 2: Winners/losers for each NFC team (Detroit Lions - A strong debut by rookie runner Kerryon Johnson should help ensure he's in the mix for touches to open the season. The Lions have a promising backfield with Johnson, LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick all able to excel in different duties. ... Kenny Golladay, not Golden Tate, was the wideout opposite Marvin Jones when the Lions were in two-receiver sets during the second preseason game. Golladay's role should only expand.  Ameer Abdullah started the second game of the preseason, but he could wind up getting cut -- or traded, if any team wants to cough up a conditional late-round pick for his services. He hasn't helped himself with a poor effort in pass protection in the first preseason game and two fumbles in the second one. ... GM Bob Quinn's second ever pick in Detroit, '16 selection A'Shawn Robinson, appears to be buried on the depth chart under new coach Matt Patricia.):  http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000949585/article/preseason-week-2-winnerslosers-for-each-nfc-team

Who'll trade for Teddy? 32 landing spots ranked (24. Detroit Lions - Maybe the Lions should be higher, too? They have Matt Cassel and Jake Rudock there and Matt Patricia comes from a place (New England) where they constantly made sure to churn the backup quarterback position. I don't know. The Lions just don't feel like a "if Matthew Stafford goes down our Super Bowl window slams shut" team somehow.):  https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-all-32-teams-based-on-whether-they-should-do-a-teddy-bridgewater-trade/
