The Lions are hiring Drew Petzing as their new OC, according to multiple reports. ESPN's Eric Woodyard writes that Petzing is expected to call plays, after HC Dan Campbell took over those duties during the second half of 2025. Petzing spent the past three seasons as Cardinals OC. Arizona's offenses were middling under Petzing, ranking 19th, 11th, and 19th in total yards and 24th, 12th, and 23rd in points. But he piloted productive and efficient running games in 2023 and 2024, with the Cardinals ranking top seven in both rushing yards and yards per carry both years. Arizona sunk to 31st in yards this past year but still ranked 16th in yards per carry. QB Kyler Murray played a big part in those rushing attacks. But Cardinals RBs averaged 4.7 yards per carry in Petzing's scheme. Consider this hire good news for RB Jahmyr Gibbs.

The Lions announced that they've "parted ways" with OC John Morton. Morton called plays for the first eight games of the season, guiding the team to 351 total yards and 29.9 points per game. HC Dan Campbell took over play-calling for the final nine games. Detroit climbed to 393 yards per game but sunk to 26.9 points. We'll see who the Lions hire to replace Morton as OC -- and whether Campbell keeps play-calling duties. Campbell was non-committal when asked on Monday. "I'm open to anything," he said. "I don't know exactly where I'm at with that yet. Listen, I'm going to think through all of that. I really want to do what I feel is best for the team. If I believe that's what's best for us and I feel good about it, I will."

Lions HC Dan Campbell gave a semi-optimistic update Wednesday on TE Sam LaPorta, who underwent back surgery in mid-November. "Yeah, he's getting better," Campbell said. "It wouldn't have been one of those things where you get in the playoffs. Did he have a chance to play? No, it wouldn't be that. But I feel like next year, that certainly isn't off the table early in the year. You'd like to believe training camp we'll get him. But you're talking about a back. And he's improving, but yet, he's not completely healed. ... Certainly, it feels better after the surgery than he did right before, so that's a positive. Took a lot of stress off that nerve, so we'll see." LaPorta's rehab will be one of the bigger storylines of the offseason. He was sitting ninth among TEs in PPR points per game through Week 10. He'll be worth a shot in early best-ball drafts if he's going in that late-TE1 territory. But we wouldn't be rushing out to acquire LaPorta in dynasty right now. The back issue likely adds short- and long-term health risk to his profile.
