Eagles | Philadelphia pursuing Stephen Tulloch Sat Aug 6, 08:19 PM
Free-agent LB Stephen Tulloch (Lions) is in 'heavy negotiations' to sign with the Philadelphia Eagles, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Tulloch would be good depth for the Eagles at linebacker, where they lack experience. Tulloch had some of his best years under Eagles defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz when he was head coach of the Lions, so the Eagles know what they are getting. |

Eagles | Stephen Tulloch unlikely to Eagles Wed Jul 13, 01:13 PM
Updating a previous report, free-agent LB Stephen Tulloch (Lions) is unlikely to land with the Philadelphia Eagles.
| Footballguys view: It's a bit surprising given Tulloch's history with DC Jim Schwartz and the Eagles need on defense. Tulloch is a two-down thumper who can bring veteran leadership to any team he goes to. Perhaps he'll be able to find a new home sometime during training camp. |

Eagles | Philly may look at Stephen Tulloch Wed Jul 6, 06:29 PM
Free-agent LB Stephen Tulloch (Lions) could be an option for the Philadelphia Eagles because they do not have many veteran backups behind the starting linebackers.
| Footballguys view: The move would make sense for a team like the Eagles. Not only do they have a need for better depth, but Tulloch played for defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz in the past. |

Lions | Stephen Tulloch officially released Tue Jul 5, 05:00 PM
Detroit Lions LB Stephen Tulloch was released Tuesday, July 5, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Tulloch underwent arthroscopic ankle surgery this offseason and did not pass a physical until Tuesday, July 5th, hence the Lions waiting to release him. The Lions would have owed the veteran LB an injury settlement had they released him before the failed physical designation. There should be at least a few teams interested in Tulloch as a run-stuffer before training camp. |

Lions | Stephen Tulloch not worried about knee Fri Aug 7, 10:11 PM
Detroit Lions LB Stephen Tulloch (knee) said he is not worried about how his surgically repaired knee will hold up in the preseason opener Thursday, Aug. 13. 'I'm built for stuff like this,' Tulloch said. 'So, just getting back out here again, like I said, I'm back to me being me. I'm able to run around and make plays.'
| Footballguys view: The Lions will take it a little easy on him this preseason and it's not like Tulloch is in his first year. You can bet the nine-year veteran will not be celebrating sacks again this year, however. |

Lions | Stephen Tulloch to participate in OTAs? Wed May 13, 05:09 PM
Detroit Lions LB Stephen Tulloch (knee) plans to be ready for organized team activities later this month. Tulloch is recovering from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, but said he'll start running more in a couple weeks.
| Footballguys view: He can return to OTAs soon, but the team doesn't want him to celebrate anything. Tulloch was injured celebrating a sack last year, and now he's going to be eased back in during OTAs. He'll be near 100 percent at the start of the regular season if the recovery goes as planned. |

Lions | Stephen Tulloch ready Fri Apr 24, 10:55 AM
Detroit Lions LB Stephen Tulloch (knee) said he could play Thursday, April 23, if necessary, seven months after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament.
| Footballguys view: Expect the Lions to take it easy on Tulloch, regardless of how he feels. We can expect some minor work during OTAs and then they'll ease him in during training camp. One would also assume they will ask him to avoid hurting himself again while celebrating. |

Lions | Stephen Tulloch will start Thu Mar 26, 11:12 AM
Detroit Lions LB Stephen Tulloch (knee) will be the starting middle linebacker when he is able to return from his torn anterior cruciate ligament. Tulloch is making good progress in his rehab but may sit out offseason workouts.
| Footballguys view: The Lions need to firm the middle up with the departure of Ndamukong Suh and have to hope that Tulloch is indeed fully healed and doesn't celebrate himself into another injury. |

Lions | Stephen Tulloch ahead of schedule Sun Mar 1, 12:59 PM
Detroit Lions LB Stephen Tulloch (knee) said he is ahead of schedule in his rehab from a torn anterior cruciate ligament and that his knee feels stronger than it did before the injury.
| Footballguys view: Be careful when celebrating a sack. Tulloch wants to return to the Lions, but the veteran could potentially be asked to restructure his deal as Detroit needs more money to sign Ndamukong Suh. The Lions would save $3.2 million by releasing Tulloch. |

Lions | OTA participant update Thu Jun 12, 04:41 PM

| Footballguys view: A lot of guys getting some rest in, but nothing to worry about for the most part. Bell is on pace to be at training camp, and Tate will be there for sure. Ansah is on track for Week 1, as will Sims. Houston may miss some of training camp, but is expected for the first week as well. |

Lions | Teammate praises Ezekiel Ansah Tue Jul 30, 12:03 AM
Detroit Lions LB Stephen Tulloch said Monday, July 29, that rookie DL Ezekiel Ansah reminds him of a young DL Javon Kearse. Tulloch played with Kearse during his days with the Tennessee Titans. 'Ziggy is a freak,' Tulloch said. 'He's a raw player but very instinctive. He can read screens very well. Runs to the ball very well. He's just a real good athlete.'
| Footballguys view: The team needs Ansah to be an instant impact pass rusher in 2013. Per ESPN Stats and Information, the Lions sent four or fewer pass rushers on 80.2 percent of opponent dropbacks in 2012, the fourth-highest rate in the NFL. Ends Cliff Avril and Kyle Vanden Bosch played the second- and third-most snaps for the Lions last season, but both are no longer with the team. There's going to be a big role for Ansah if he's ready for it in 2013. |
