Overview
- Detroit confirmed John Morton’s dismissal after one season, months after Dan Campbell took over play‑calling duties.
- Campbell said he is open to staffing changes and undecided on whether he or the next coordinator will call plays.
- The Lions finished 9-8 and missed the postseason following a three-game December slide that dropped them to fourth in the NFC North.
- Offensive line setbacks, including Frank Ragnow’s retirement and Taylor Decker contemplating his future, have pushed line reinforcements to the top of the offseason agenda, with the No. 17 pick in play.
- With former OC Ben Johnson winning the division in Chicago, Detroit’s inconsistency showed in a 0-7 record when failing to reach 100 rushing yards.
