53-Man Lions Roster Projection Week 3
Here is the latest 53-man roster projection for the Detroit Lions, after three weeks of training camp.
There are a few changes from our last projection, as veteran running back Justin Jackson decided it was time to call it a career and informed the organization of his decision to retire.
Quarterbacks (2)
- Jared Goff
- Teddy Bridgewater
- Hendon Hooker (Injured)
With a veteran of Teddy Bridgewater's caliber, it is likely going to signal the end of Sudfeld's tenure in Motown.
Running backs (4)
- David Montgomery
- Jahmyr Gibbs
- Benny Snell
- Jason Cabinda (FB)
With Jackson retired, the competition for the third running back spot has heated up. Snell has experience playing special teams, but is barely hanging on to a spot. Meanwhile, Jermar Jefferson and Craig Reynolds will be competing hard to earn a roster spot.
Wide receivers (6)
- Amon-Ra St. Brown
- Marvin Jones Jr.
- Josh Reynolds
- Kalif Raymond
- Maurice Alexander
- Dylan Drummond
- Jameson Williams (Suspended)
Denzel Mims did not have his best week of camp. With Alexander showcasing his return capabilities, he has worked his way into a roster spot.
Tight ends (3)
- Sam LaPorta
- Brock Wright
- James Mitchell
Offensive line (9)
- Frank Ragnow
- Halapoulivaati Vaitai
- Jonah Jackson
- Taylor Decker
- Penei Sewell
- Graham Glasgow
- Colby Sorsdal
- Kayode Awosika
- Germain Ifedi
With a shaky performance against the Giants, Matt Nelson loses his roster spot to Germain Ifedi, who has displayed physicality and an imposing will all throughout training camp.
