Lions Unofficial Depth Chart Released

The Lions have released their "unofficial" depth chart for tonight's game against the Giants. A depth chart usually doesn't mean a whole lot in the preseason, but it does sort of give us an idea of which players are on the bubble when the final roster cuts happen at the end of this month.

You can take a look at the depth chart below and leave your thoughts about it in the comments section. Something to take note of is that players on the PUP list (WR Shaun McDonald, TE Dan Campbell, and FS Daniel Bullock) or players that are fifth string (RB Artose Pinner and WR Taye Biddle) are not listed on the depth chart. Also, just because a player is listed on the depth chart does not mean that he will play in tonight's game.
