We’ve reached the 40s in our countdown of the Detroit Lions’ 2020 roster. While these players are technically above the key number 53—the number of players that will be on Detroit’s regular season roster—I wouldn’t consider most of the players in this range “safe.” They either have some work to do to jump other players on the roster or they’ll have to stave off competition for their job.
Still, most of these players are in a pretty good spot to be on the squad come September, and some will even play significant roles on the field.
