The Detroit Lions are entering crunch time. The 2025 NFL season is just three weeks away, and the Lions' final preseason game is coming up this Saturday afternoon against the Houston Texans. There are still a few positional battles yet to be settled, and a few key decisions left to be made about the team's finalized 53-man roster.
Draft picks are always going to be hard to square away against the roster if they haven't completely solidified their role with the team, like Jahmyr Gibbs or Sam LaPorta have, for example. There are definitely a few recent draft picks by the Lions that are on the bubble right now, hoping to have an excellent final week of training camp leading up to the game against Houston.
