The Lions may not have the resources to fix what ails them

After an uninspired loss in Minnesota, the Detroit Lions are now eliminated from the 2026 NFL playoff picture. The offensive line, dealing with injuries and a lack of development from young players, literally collapsed on national television.

The Lions are filled with playmakers on offense, and their defense has talent when they aren't bitten by the injury bug. But the roster needs tweaking. Detroit can't just run the offensive line back next year and hope growth from Tate Ratledge and Christian Mahogany will take hold.

There is also the scary truth that Graham Glasgow will be 34, and Taylor Decker will be 32 next year.
