Detroit Lions comprehensive depth chart: Week 11 at Cleveland Browns

The Detroit Lions are on the road for the second week in a row, this time taking on the Cleveland Browns in Week 11.

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.

The Lions made a handful of roster moves this week, and as we arrive at Sunday, the Lions have 53 players on the active roster and two elevated players from the practice squad. That means they’ll have 55 players available to choose their game-day roster from.
