Detroit Lions updated depth chart: Week 8 vs. Miami Dolphins

A quick reference guide for Detroit Lions player viewing during this week’s game.

Cincinnati Bengals v Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions are back home in the comfy confines of Ford Field in Week 8, taking on the Miami Dolphins and hoping to end their losing streak.

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.
