Detroit Lions comprehensive depth chart: Week 7 at Los Angeles Rams

The Detroit Lions are back on the road this Sunday for a Week 7 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams.

This comprehensive depth chart is designed to give fans an expanded look at the current roster, and you will often see things that vary from traditional depth charts. Occasionally you will see a player listed at multiple positions. This happens when a player holds key roles at multiple spots and doesn’t fit into just one box. Additionally, we added player numbers for easier tracking during the game, bolded the anticipated starters, and all rookies will have an asterisk (*) after their name.

Note: The Lions roster was at 52-players entering the week and they made three roster moves leading up to the game. On Wednesday, they signed WR Geronimo Allison to the active roster. Then on Saturday, they elevated TE Brock Wright and S Jalen Elliott from the practice squad. Therefore with no corresponding moves necessary, it brings the active roster to 55 players entering Sunday’s game.
