Detroit Lions comprehensive depth chart: Week 17 at Seattle Seahawks

It’s Week 17, and the Detroit Lions (2-12-1) are on the road to take on the surprisingly struggling Seattle Seahawks (5-10).

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.
