Following the Detroit Lions’ recent win over the Kansas City Chiefs, the team’s roster projection has undergone some notable changes. Here’s an updated look at who might make the final roster and who could be on the outs:
**In:**
1. **Jared Goff (QB)** – Goff’s performance remains strong, securing his spot as the starting quarterback.
2. **Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR)** – His playmaking ability and consistency make him a key asset in the receiving corps.
3. **Jameson Williams (WR)** – Despite his suspension, his talent makes him a valuable future piece.
4. **Jahmyr Gibbs (RB)** – The rookie has shown promise and is expected to be a significant part of the offense.
5. **Brian Branch (S)** – Branch’s impressive debut solidifies his role in the secondary.
6. **Aidan Hutchinson (DE)** – Hutchinson continues to be a standout player on the defensive line.
**Out:**
1. **David Montgomery (RB)** – While Montgomery is a solid player, his role might be reduced with Gibbs’ emergence.
2. **Josh Reynolds (WR)** – With the depth at wide receiver and Williams’ return, Reynolds could face a tough battle for a spot.
3. **Michael Brockers (DT)** – If younger defensive linemen continue to outperform, Brockers might be at risk of being cut.
4. **Tracy Walker (S)** – Depending on the health of the secondary and Branch’s performance, Walker could be on the bubble.
5. **Riley Patterson (K)** – With competition in the kicking game, Patterson might need to step up his performance to stay on the roster.
These projections are subject to change as the preseason progresses and final roster decisions are made.
