Detroit Lions Podcast: Breaking down what we saw in joint practices vs the Dolphins
Detroit dominated the first day of practices, and while Miami did show more life on the second day, there was little question as to the better team. For Detroit's starters, who never play in the preseason, they passed their first challenge against another team with flying colors.
We also hit on some of the injuries and why the Lions might be healthier and in better shape for the season than you might think.
As always, the audio-only version of the show, which was recorded live on Thursday afternoon, is available from your favorite podcast provider.

Lionel Messi Returns From Injury, Scores Inter Miami's Game-Winner vs. MLS Champs
After missing Inter Miami's last two games with a leg muscle injury, Lionel Messi returned to MLS action on Saturday night, coming off the Herons' substitutes' bench at halftime and scoring the match-winning goal with six minutes to play and adding an assist in an eventual 3-1 victory over the LA Galaxy. With his team leading the defending MLS Cup champions 1-0 at the interval on a Jordi Alba strike, Miami coach Javier Mascherano inserted Messi for Venezuelan winger Telasco Segovia. It took the Argentine World Cup winner time to settle into the contest. Joseph Paintsil then equalized for the visitors just before the hour mark. But sure enough, the GOAT gave his legion of pink-clad worshipers pink-clad at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale the special moment they hoped to see when news broke about an hour before kickoff that Messi was listed as an available sub. Messi delivered it in brilliant individual fashion. On the right side of the field near the Galaxy' penalty box, Luis Suarez sent a backwards pass to Rodrigo De Paul, who squared the ball to Messi standing about 40 yards from the visitors' goal. The 38-year-old suddenly exploded past a defender then slalomed around several more before blasting an unstoppable left-footed shot into the bottom corner of keeper Novak Micovic's net. It was Messi's MLS-leading 19th goal of the regular season, putting him one ahead of Nashville SC striker Sam Surridge. (Nashville visits NYCFC on Sunday.) Suarez added an insurance tally for the hosts in second-half stoppage time off a seeing-eye feed from his former Barcelona running mate: Saturday's result pulled Miami, which claimed the Supporters Shield in 2024, within five points of Eastern Conference pacesetter Philadelphia Union, who lost to the New York Red Bulls on Saturday. However, Messi & friends have played three fewer games. Messi was injured early in an Aug. 2 Leagues Cup contest against Mexican club Necaxa. He missed the Herons' final group game win over Pumas and a 4-1 Aug. 10 loss to Florida rival Orlando City. Miami faces Liga MX power Tigres on Wednesday in the Leagues Cup quarterfinals (coverage begins at 8:00 p.m. ET on FS1 and the FOX Sports app).

Marlins stun Red Sox with three runs in ninth to avoid sweep at Fenway Park
Dane Myers and Jakob Marsee homered in Miami's three-run ninth inning and the Marlins beat the Boston Red Sox 5-3 on Sunday to end a three-game losing streak. Myers hit the second pitch from Greg Weissert (4-4) into Boston's bullpen to tie it, and Marsee sent a pitch from Steven Matz into the seats in right. Tyler Phillips (2-1) worked a scoreless inning, and Anthony Bender got the final three outs for his fourth save. Eric Wagaman also homered for the Marlins. Boston's Wilyer Abreu had a two-run homer that popped out of the glove of right fielder Myers when he crashed into the fence. The Red Sox wasted a solid start by ace Garrett Crochet. Crochet rebounded from his worst start of the season, giving up three hits, with eight strikeouts and a walk one over seven innings. He was tagged for five runs in four innings in a loss Monday at Houston. Miami's Joey Wiemer struck out swinging three times in his major league debut. Myers went back on Abreu's fly, turned and looked like he was ready to make a nice over-the-shoulder grab, but it popped out and over. Crochet is four away from his second straight season reaching 200 strikeouts. Marlins: RHP Eury Pérez (5-3, 3.58 ERA) was set to face St. Louis at home Monday night. LHP Matthew Liberatore (6-10, 4-08) was slated to start for the Cardinals. Red Sox: RHP Dustin May (7-8, 4.67) was scheduled to start the opener of a two-game home series against Baltimore on Monday night. LHP Trevor Rogers (5-2, 1.43) was set to pitch for the Orioles..

Lions' moment to trade for Trey Hendrickson has arrived
Lions' moment to trade for Trey Hendrickson has arrived originally appeared on The Sporting News The Detroit Lions have been at the center of the speculation all offseason, not really by their own choosing. But everyone looks at the Super Bowl contender, sees they might be a pass-rusher short and connects that to disgruntled Cincinnati Bengals superstar Trey Hendrickson. And now, if the Lions really would have any interest in Hendrickson, they have to pursue it. The Bengals might actually trade Hendrickson after all. He's made it clear that he won't play for the $16 million he's due to make in 2025, and so a trade might be the resolution to the conflict if a new deal isn't reached. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, "the Bengals are listening to trade offers" for Hendrickson. MORE: Shedeur Sanders shows his NFL Draft slide might've been a mistake "It's unclear if the NFL sack leader will be playing elsewhere in 2025, and a trade will be a real challenge," Rapoport adds. "But time will tell." Hendrickson is one of the best defensive players in the NFL. He has 17.5 sacks in each of the past two seasons. The Lions have Aidan Hutchinson coming at quarterbacks from one side of the defense. It'd certainly look quite imposing to have Hendrickson flying in from the other side. MORE: Rams' Jimmy Garoppolo decision tells us everything about Matthew Stafford's injury Nothing is a given here. The Bengals' phones will surely be busy, and whatever team acquires Hendrickson will then likely be looking at giving him the big contract he feels he deserves. But the Lions have been everyone's favorite Hendrickson landing spot for a long time. If Detroit really wants in, now's the time to make it happen.
