Detroit Lions offensive tackle Dan Skipper announced his retirement after a 24-year NFL career and signaled a move into coaching, capping a journeyman tenure with Detroit that included a jumbo-package tight end role and a controversial 2023 end-game play.
Lions tackle Dan Skipper, 31, retires after a nine-year NFL career that included multiple stints with Detroit. He announced the move to pursue coaching, with ESPN noting he could begin as a Shrine Bowl volunteer offensive line coach. Skipper appeared in 66 Lions games (16 starts) and even recorded a touchdown during his NFL tenure.
The Detroit Lions continue to poke fun at the referee's mistake from last week's game by having offensive lineman Dan Skipper report as eligible and make a catch in their game against the Minnesota Vikings. This comes after a controversial ruling in the previous game where Taylor Decker's 2-point conversion catch was nullified due to a mix-up with reporting eligibility. Despite the bitter taste left by the previous loss, the Lions secured a 30-20 victory over the Vikings and will host in the wild-card round next weekend.
