- Former Detroit Lions kicker Jason Hanson stopped by practice on Friday to speak with rookie kicker Nate Freese, who has struggled quite a bit so far in his NFL career. Freese probably needs a perfect performance on Sunday in order to remain the Lions' kicker going forward, so hopefully whatever Hanson said to Freese will help him get things back on track this week.
- The Lions' captains for Week 3 are going to be Dominic Raiola (offense), Rashean Mathis (defense) and Tahir Whitehead (special teams).
- The Lions are hoping to get their running game going against the Green Bay Packers.

The entire Detroit Lions o line are rocking Stone Cold Steve Austin shirts with slogan, "Arrive, raise hell, leave."
