Breakdown of rookie Dan Jackson's injury history with rundown of Lions safeties health
Breakdown of rookie Dan Jackson's injury history with rundown of Lions safeties health Breaking down the injury history of Lions seventh-round safety Dan Jackson and how Detroit's current safety room looks health-wise Safety was a moderate need for the Lions entering the draft due to an absence of proven depth behind elite starters Kerby Joseph and Brian Branch. The Lions did not address this position in the draft until Dan Jackson from Georgia was taken in the 7th-round. Typically, late-rounders don't make much of an impact in their rookie year, but the dearth of depth creates an opportunity for Jackson to become an exception. For a 7th-round pick, "There is no certainty, only opportunity" - V for Vendetta. Here is Jackson's medical history along with a review of the rest of the safety crew heading into the 2025 season. (Age at start of 2025 season) Credit for games played data. Dan Jackson (24) - signed through 2028 2024 Played all 14 games. Played all 14 games. 2023 Knee "burst bursa" caused 3 missed games. Played 11 of 14 games. Knee "burst bursa" caused 3 missed games. Played 11 of 14 games. 2022 Foot stress fracture surgery ended his season after 7 games. Foot stress fracture surgery ended his season after 7 games. 2021 Played all 15 games. Regarding the bursa, the knee has multiple bursas (fluid-filled sacs) with the prepatellar bursa being the most commonly injured. As seen last year with Maxx Crosby, sometimes a bursa can become infected and turn into a serious situation. Fortunately, Jackson's wasn't as serious. Regarding the foot fracture, Jackson described it as a "bone that didn't get much blood supply". This raises suspicion for a Jones fracture which is notorious for having a poor blood supply. It's a great sign that he has two years of proof of recovery since the surgery, but there is still some risk of refracture going forward. Kerby Joseph (24) - signed through 2029 Just two weeks ago, Joseph signed a 4-year, $86 million extension becoming the highest paid safety in NFL history. It's a remarkable turnaround from last offseason when he had unspecified hip surgery. The hip is something to monitor long-term but the early returns - zero missed games, nine interceptions, 1st-team All-Pro - are astounding. Brian Branch (23) - signed through 2026 Like Joseph, Branch had surgery last offseason on his left foot or ankle. Also like Joseph, Branch had a remarkable season, missing only one game (concussion/illness) while finishing with four interceptions and a Pro-Bowl nod. Despite missing just that one game, Branch appeared to be hampered by minor right leg issues at multiple points late last season. I don't suspect anything too worrisome, but it's something to watch in the coming season. Morice Norris (24) - signed through 2025 Despite not playing in the first 15 games of the season, Norris was the next man up after Ifeatu Melifonwu strained his hamstring in the playoff game. The fact that an inexperienced, undrafted rookie was getting critical playing time (22 defensive snaps) in a playoff game tells you all you need to know about the Lions safety depth. Loren Strickland (25) - signed through 2025 Last year, this undrafted rookie had a thumb injury causing him to miss week one. He then played in seven games sporadically throughout the year. His last appearance was in week 15 when he was supplanted by Norris. OUTLOOK Jackson has some mild medical concerns in his past but should enter the 2025 season healthy and ready to seize the opportunity to win the backup safety role. With all members of the safety group healthy and young, the Lions will be very strong at the position if quality backups can be developed. Besides the two starters, Jackson is the only one signed beyond 2025 which means it would be ideal if he can become the #3 safety.

Google Play Store Drops Nearly Half Its Apps to Improve Quality and Safety
The Google Play Store saw a dramatic reduction in app count, shedding 1.8 million apps since early 2024. According to analytics firm Appfigures—and as reported by TechCrunch—this drop represents a 47 percent decline from the 3.4 million apps the store started the year with. A Google spokesperson, Dan Jackson, explained the move, saying it reflects Google's commitment to 'delivering high-quality apps' and 'continuous improvements for user safety.' In recent years, Google has intensified efforts to combat spammy or low-quality applications. In 2023, the company introduced stricter review processes and mandated that developers test their apps with at least 20 users over two weeks before launch. Apps deemed to have 'limited functionality and content' began to be removed during this period, and in January, Google reported blocking 2.36 million policy-violating apps from being published. The data shows that the most heavily affected category was games, with around 200,000 apps removed, followed by education (160,700 apps) and business (115,400 apps). Despite the removals, Appfigures also reported a 7.1 percent global increase in new app releases wp-content/uploads/sites/2/ 2025/04/ Google Play Store Data from Appfigures Jackson emphasised, 'Every year, we continue to invest in more ways to protect our community and fight bad actors, so users can trust the apps they download from Google Play and developers can build thriving businesses.' Interestingly, while Google's app numbers dropped, Apple's App Store saw a modest increase—rising from 1.6 million to 1.64 million apps over the same period, as shown in Appfigures' report.

Tracking what happened with the draft picks the Lions traded during the 2025 NFL Draft
Tracking what happened with the draft picks the Lions traded during the 2025 NFL Draft The Detroit Lions made three trades during the 2025 NFL Draft. Here's what happened with the picks the Lions traded away. We're following the Lions' picks all over this weekend, but it can also be interesting to see how picks that were traded ultimately pan out as well. Here, we'll take a look at the picks the Lions traded away in their various moves this weekend and what those selections ended up becoming. Lions-Broncos trade The Lions moved up three spots in the second round to select Georgia guard Tate Ratledge. They traded picks 60 and 130 to the Denver Broncos for picks 57 and 230, which turned out to be Georgia safety Dan Jackson. With the 60th pick, the Broncos took RJ Harvey, running back, Central Florida. Denver traded No. 130 to the Eagles, who then traded the pick to the New York Jets. New York took Alabama safety Malachi Moore. Lions-Jaguars trade The Lions made a big jump in the third round, going from No. 102 to No. 70 to select Arkansas wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa. Detroit also got No. 182 this year and a 6th-round pick next year from the Jacksonville Jaguars. Detroit sent the Jaguars both of their third-round picks in next year's draft, including the compensatory pick they received for Aaron Glenn becoming head coach of the New York Jets. Pick No. 102 would go to Houston and then Minnesota, who used the pick to select Maryland wide receiver Tai Felton. Lions-Patriots trade The Lions moved up from No. 182, the pick they received from the Jaguars, to No. 171 to select LSU guard Miles Frazier. Detroit sent pick No. 228 to the New England Patriots. At pick 182, the Patriots took the first kicker of the draft, Andres Borregales of Miami. They traded pick 228 to the Kansas City Chiefs, who took SMU RB Brashard Smith.
