Detroit Lions bubble watch: Final roster predictions on defense

The Detroit Lions have made massive changes on defense this offseason. That has not only increased the expectations for a defense that finished among the league’s worst last season, but it also means some players who were around last year may get pushed off the bottom of the roster in 2023.

All this training camp, we’ve been tracking the players we perceive to be on the roster bubble. Now that the final preseason game is over and roster cuts are due by Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, we’re prepared to make our final predictions. Surprisingly, there was the lot of movement in our choices after several defensive players made an impression against the Carolina Panthers.
