The Detroit Lions are back home at Ford Field for a Week 3 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.
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 * after their name.
Note: After a series of roster moves—including three players placed on injured reserve, one placed on reserve/COVID-19, two signings, and one roster elevation—the Lions roster sits at 52 players for Week 3, one short of the maximum.
