The Detroit Lions (5-2) are taking on the Las Vegas Raiders (3-4) in Week 8 on “Monday Night Football” at Ford Field.
Because this week’s game is on Monday, the Lions' typical schedule has been altered a bit. For example, Detroit typically makes any necessary roster moves—signings, practice squad elevations, etc.—on the Saturday before a Sunday game. But this week, they can make moves through Monday, which they are expected to do.
Currently, the Lions only have 52 players on their active roster, following the departure of Marvin Jones Jr., and while it’s no guarantee that they will sign anyone, they seem likely to elevate players from their practice squad due to injuries
With that in mind, let’s reset the Lions roster, see where the depth chart stands entering this game, and we will update this article after any roster moves are made.
