Detroit Lions position battles up for grabs in preseason finale

It’s last call for the Detroit Lions preseason. Friday night’s game against the Carolina Panthers is the final opportunity for the bottom half of the roster to make their case for the 53-man roster—which must be established by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. The Lions have intimated that they will not be playing starters, so that leaves plenty of reps for depth players to justify making the roster.

With that in mind, here’s an overview of the jobs still very much up for grabs heading into the preseason finale.

Running back

Currently safe (2): David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs
In the mix (3): Craig Reynolds, Jermar Jefferson, Benny Snell Jr.
