Wednesday open thread: Will all of last year’s running backs make this year’s roster?

The Detroit Lions head into 2022 with overhauls and upgrades at many positions, but one position that remained largely untouched was running back. It makes sense considering there wasn’t a need for running back while many other position groups needed the help. Nonetheless, the Lions aren’t looking too deep at the position in 2023.

For now, let’s focus on all the returners. The Lions only added Greg Bell, a UDFA rookie out of San Diego State. Otherwise, they return DeAndre Swift, Jamaal Williams, Jermar Jefferson, Godwin Igwebuike, Craig Reynolds, and at fullback, Jason Cabinda.
