Lions Depth Chart Released For Game Against Browns

The Detroit Lions have unveiled their unofficial depth chart for Friday's preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns. You can check it out below. (Note: Players in italics are injured.)

A couple of things worth noting: Moore is listed ahead of Archer at quarterback, Smith is the starting running back and Reiff is currently the second-team left tackle. While we're still quite a ways away from the final round of cuts and this depth chart is considered unofficial, those three things stand out the most on the offensive depth chart. Moore appears to be well on his way to establishing himself as the third-string quarterback, and Smith appears to be set to start at running back as long as Leshoure and Best are out. At left tackle, Reiff has apparently moved ahead of Hilliard and Fox, who are the backups at right tackle.

The most noteworthy thing about the defensive depth chart is that Smith is the starter at right cornerback for the time being. Based on how well he's been practicing, there was a belief that Bentley might be starting in that spot, but he hasn't moved to the top of the depth chart just yet. He will likely be the Lions' first-team nickelback, though.

The only thing worth mentioning about the special teams depth chart is that Graham is currently listed ahead of Donahue. Again, it's early and this may not mean a whole lot by the end of the month, but it's interesting nonetheless.

(Note: For some reason the Lions have Hanson and Dimke listed as the holders. I'm going to go ahead and assume that was a mistake considering the holder job usually belongs to the punters.)
