Detroit Lions score 4 players with AP All-Pro nods, including 2 first-timers
ALLEN PARK — Jack Campbell and Penei Sewell were named to the AP All-Pro first-team for the Detroit Lions.
It’s the third consecutive first-team nod for Sewell, 25, who was also named Pro Football Focus’ protector of the year earlier this week. PFF graded Sewell as the top offensive lineman, and not just tackle, in the NFL this season. He allowed only two sacks and 19 pressures across 601 pass-blocking snaps as the top-ranked pass-blocking offensive lineman.
For all the focus on the offensive line and what needs to happen this offseason, Sewell’s presence gives them a cornerstone, blue-chip piece to build around.
Campbell earned his first Pro Bowl and All-Pro nod this season, putting the bows on a true breakout campaign for the former first-round pick. The 25-year-old joins Chris Spielman and Joe Schmidt as the only Lions linebackers ever to make the All-Pro first-team.
The linebacker finished the season by playing all 17 games for the third straight season, posting career highs in tackles (176), sacks (five), forced fumbles (three), fumble recoveries (two) and tackles for loss (nine). Campbell did all this while taking over the green dot for the first time, and playing more snaps than any other teammate — offense, defense or special teams.
The third-year linebacker finished the season as PFF’s second-best overall linebacker, trailing only Fred Warner of the San Francisco 49ers. Campbell’s 176 tackles were the second-most in the league in 2025.
“He’s extremely valuable,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said of his linebacker last month. “He’s taken more reps than anybody on this team. He plays on kickoff for us, and he’s an asset on kickoff and then everything you see on defense. He doesn’t come off the field; he’s our bell-cow, green-dot. And he does –, and the guy is smart, and he’s instinctive, and he is snap-to-whistle all-out, all the time, in practice too. And he doesn’t take plays off, he doesn’t take days off, he goes after the football, he’s a ball guy.
“So, he’s invaluable.”
Amon-Ra St. Brown, who had made the first team in consecutive years, was named to the AP’s second team this time around. St. Brown finished the season fifth in receptions (117), fifth in yards (1,401), tied for second in touchdowns (11) and seventh in yards after the catch (570).
The star wideout became the first player in league history to have at least 90 catches through a player’s first five seasons. St. Brown has at least 100 catches and 1,000 yards in four straight seasons, and has caught double-digit touchdowns in the last three.
Aidan Hutchinson joined in on the fun this year, too. Hutchinson earns his first AP All-Pro team nod, landing a second-team spot this season. Not too shabby for someone returning from a season-ending leg injury, and his return served as quite the response.
Hutchinson, who got his big extension this year, played every game and set a new career-best mark with 14.5 sacks and 35 quarterback hits. He also scored his second Pro Bowl appearance this year, as well. Since PFF started tracking pressures, there have been six players to reach the 100-pressure mark. Hutchinson is the only one on that list to have done it twice.
The pass rusher led the NFL in pressures created, finishing the campaign with a clear 100. The next closest player was Jacksonville’s Josh Hines-Allen, who had 95.
“The number of things that he’s able to do for us in the run and the pass game,” Dan Campbell said of Hutchinson earlier in the season. “Man, it takes up — he pulls a lot of slack, man. You talk about pulling your weight, he pulls his weight and then some. He requires a lot of resources offensively, which helps everybody else out. Guys like him, he’s in that rare world of man, you don’t get the easy way out. He’s got to beat the nudges, he’s got to beat the back chip, then the tackle’s on him. Or he’s got to beat the nudge, sometimes the back, the tackle, and the slide’s coming to him with the guard also.
“So, sometimes you may have to beat three, sometimes four. But if that’s the case, somebody else is winning. They’ve got to win. So, what he does is not easy, and I go back to this. He is a complete football player; he does it all. And he’s disruptive, he’s violent, he’s high motor, he’s crafty, he’s explosive, he’s tough, he’s competitive. And he does it all. He does it all.”

Car crashes through Detroit Metro Airport’s McNamara Terminal
DTW McNamara Terminal entrance damaged after car crashes through doors
Crews work to repair an entrance to Detroit Metro Airport’s McNamara Terminal after a car drove into the terminal on Friday, Jan. 23, 2026.
Officials are investigating after a car drove through the entrance to Detroit Metro Airport’s McNamara Terminal on Friday, Jan. 23.
The crash took place about 7:30 p.m. Friday and the vehicle hit a ticket counter, the Wayne County Airport Authority said in a statement.
The driver was taken into custody, officials said. Six people were also treated by the authority’s fire department.
The cause of the crash was not immediately known.
Whatever the cause, it made a terrifying noise, said Michele Wheaton, 54, of Pontiac.
Wheaton said she’d just flown back in from a trip to Puerto Rico with loved ones on Friday evening when the crash happened.
She was on her way to the arrivals area to be picked up when she heard a loud bang with sounds of metal and glass, she said.
“I stopped and looked around like, ‘Did anyone hear this?’” she said. “’Cause you heard the loud crash and then you just heard people screaming.”
Wheaton saw apparent security officers running, she said. One yelled, saying a car had crashed into the Delta area and asking if anyone had called 911.
Her luggage already in hand, Wheaton booked it out of the building and to her ride, she said. She told her mom to drive away.
Though specifics of the incident have not been released, Wheaton expressed sorrow at the events of the evening and dangerous incidents that take place in public gathering spots.
“It’s so sad that you can’t travel, that you can’t go to the movies or your churches or your grocery stores,” she said.
Video circulating online following the incident showed a man in an apparent Detroit Lions jersey being taken into custody.
The airport authority’s police department is investigating.
Workers could be seen still working to clean around broken entrance doors about 10:15 p.m. Friday evening.

Detroit Tigers scheduled for 16 national TV games in 2026
Detroit Tigers fans impacted by regional sports network struggles
On “Days of Roar,” The Athletic senior writer Evan Drellich details the struggles of regional sports networks – and the impact on Detroit Tigers fans.
Fresh off a second-straight playoff appearance, the Detroit Tigers are a more attractive team for national television appearances than they have been in recent years.
With the release of Fox’s national MLB television schedule on Thursday, Jan. 22, and the release of TBS’s first-half national MLB television schedule on the same day, we have a good (but not complete) list of when the Tigers will be appearing on national TV in the 2026 regular season.
Nationally-televised games on Fox and TBS should be familiar exercises for Tigers fans, but there will be a new broadcaster in the mix this season, with NBC and Peacock picking up the Sunday Leadoff and Sunday Night Baseball broadcasts. The Tigers will be featured on Sunday Night Baseball at least three times this season, with only the Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox and San Diego Padres appearing more with four each.
Where Tigers fans will be able to catch the local broadcasts is still yet to be determined, with the team canceling its broadcasting deal with FanDuel Sports Network on Jan. 8. But we at least have clarity on the national broadcasts, even if local broadcasts with FanDuel remain up in the air.
Here’s what you need to know about where to catch the Tigers in 2026.
Detroit Tigers 2026 national TV broadcast schedule
The Tigers currently have 16 nationally-televised games for the upcoming 2026 season, though that number may grow as TNT Sports has yet to release its second-half schedule for Tuesday TBS broadcasts.

- Wednesday, April 8: Detroit Tigers at Minnesota Twins, 7:30 p.m. ET (FS1).
