But a big test comes on Monday, Sept. 22 when the Lions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freep.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/lions\/2025\/09\/15\/lions-ravens-prediction-pick-week-3-monday-night-football\/86164563007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">travel to face the Baltimore Ravens<\/a> for a primetime matchup.<\/p>\n<p>Both the Lions (1-1) and the Ravens (1-1) enter the game with identical records and Super Bowl aspirations, but the Ravens enter as a five-point favorite against the Lions as Detroit is 0-4 all-time in Baltimore.<\/p>\n<p>One big reason why the Lions&#8217; offense broke through against the Bears on Sunday was the quality of the passing attack, with quarterback Jared Goff recently named the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freep.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/lions\/2025\/09\/17\/jared-goff-lions-nfl-news\/86201292007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NFC&#8217;s Offensive Player of the Week<\/a> after a five-touchdown performance.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the big game, the Lions had their media availabilities at their training facility in Allen Park to discuss what they need to do to keep up the momentum.<\/p>\n<p>One of the big storylines this week has been the availability of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freep.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/lions\/2025\/09\/17\/dan-campbell-lions-defensive-end-marcus-davenport-injury\/86196534007\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">injured defensive end Marcus Davenport<\/a>. While the Lions are staying coy, there was an update on his status.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a recap of the press conference and practice at the Allen Park facility:<\/p>\n<p>Dan Campbell press conference and Lions practice updates<\/p>\n<p>As expected, Lions defensive end Marcus Davenport was not seen at practice on Thursday as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury suffered during Sunday&#8217;s game against the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n<p>Offensive tackle Taylor Decker was seen walking around practice without pads, present but not participating in drills. Linebacker Jack Campbell was not seen at practice.<\/p>\n<p>The Lions are expected to release their full injury report later this afternoon, and we will have that update here when they do.<\/p>\n<p>Lions passing game coordinator David Shaw didn&#8217;t mince words about quarterback Jared Goff in his press conference on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jared Goff is elite,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Whatever category that you put together of elite players, he&#8217;s in that category.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Goff had a near-perfect passer rating (156.0) against the Chicago Bears on Sunday while going 23-of-28 on pass attempts for 334 yards and five touchdowns. Shaw praised the veteran&#8217;s growth 10 years into his NFL career.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s one of those guys that just got better every single year,&#8221; he said. &#8220;From year three to year 10, every year. There&#8217;s another tool in the toolbox. Everything&#8217;s a little bit better. His decision-making and accuracy are at an elite level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lions rookie receiver Isaac TeSlaa has only made two catches this season, but both have been highlight-reel hauls that have gotten Lions fans particularly excited about the receivers&#8217; future.<\/p>\n<p>Lions wide receiver coach Scottie Montgomery called TeSlaa&#8217;s one-handed catch against the Chicago Bears on Sunday &#8220;spectacular,&#8221; and then made a joke about his pass-catching ability.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People say that he has great hands, right? I don&#8217;t necessarily know that he has great hands. I haven&#8217;t seen his left hand yet,&#8221; he said while smirking.<\/p>\n<p>The Lions are slowly getting TeSlaa more involved into their game-day plans, with Montgomery saying that he&#8217;s looking for TeSlaa to stay on the same trajectory.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s only the next opportunity that you get is most important,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>Lions coach Dan Campbell praised the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/baltimore-ravens\/366\" data-autotag=\"6f9d8950-4e8a-4277-ba96-ee5ce9eb842e\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Baltimore Ravens<\/a> and coach John Harbaugh ahead of Detroit&#8217;s Monday Night Football matchup with the Super Bowl contenders.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These guys are always competitive. Rugged team, tough, discipline, really good players,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Lions have had two vastly different results against two divisional opponents in their first two games of the season. Their Week 1 road game against the Green Bay Packers showed a ton of communication breakdowns leading to a 27-13 blowout loss, while their Week 2 home opener against the Chicago Bears showed a potent offense operating nearly at its potential in a 52-21 blowout win.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell says he wants to see if that steady improvement can translate into playing well against another tough opponent in a more hostile environment than Ford Field.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now I want to see us improve on the road against a really good opponent,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of things I think are similar between us. And you know, (while) it&#8217;s not a mirror image, necessarily, but the principles I feel are very much alike.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Lions coach Dan Campbell provided injury updates for defensive end Marcus Davenport and offensive guard Christian Mahogany.<\/p>\n<p>Campbell said that Mahogany &#8220;is good&#8221; after leaving the game against the Chicago Bears on Sunday in the second half, keeping the Lions offensive line whole ahead of Monday&#8217;s game against the Ravens.<\/p>\n<p>As for Davenport, who is dealing with a shoulder injury, questions still remain. &#8220;We won&#8217;t know &#8217;till the end of this week,&#8221; Campbell said about Davenport&#8217;s availability for Monday&#8217;s game, adding that he wouldn&#8217;t be practicing on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Lions vs
