The Lions depth chart and 53 man roster are starting to come into focus a little more every single day. Just like <a href="https://atozsports.com/detroit/detroit-lions-depth-chart-prediction-after-first-preseason-game/" rel="nofollow"> last week </a> when we had a lot of changes, we've got more changes today after a few waivers and some revelations from the Lions preseason game against the Jaguars. Here's this week depth chart and 53 man roster prediction. View the <a href="https://atozsports.com/detroit/lions-depth-chart-prediction-after-second-preseason-game/" rel="nofollow"> original article </a> to see embedded media. <h3> Offense </h3><table><tbody><tr><th> Position </th><th> Starter </th><th> Player 2 </th><th> Player 3 </th></tr><tr><td> Quarterback </td><td> Jared Goff </td><td> Teddy Bridgewater </td><td></td></tr><tr><td> Running Back </td><td> David Montgomery </td><td> Jahmyr Gibbs </td><td> Craig Reynolds </td></tr><tr><td> Left Receiver </td><td> Josh Reynolds </td><td> Antione Green </td><td></td></tr><tr><td> Slot Receiver </td><td> Amon-Ra St. Brown </td><td> Kalif Raymond </td><td></td></tr><tr><td> Right Receiver </td><td> Marvin Jones </td><td> Chase Cota </td><td></td></tr><tr><td> Tight End </td><td> Sam LaPorta </td><td> Brock Wright </td><td> James Mitchell </td></tr><tr><td> Left Tackle </td><td> Taylor Decker </td><td> Germain Ifedi </td><td> Matt Nelson </td></tr><tr><td> Left Guard </td><td> Jonah Jackson </td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td> Center </td><td> Frank Ragnow </td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td> Right Guard </td><td> Graham Glasgow </td><td> Halapoulivaati Vaitai </td><td></td></tr><tr><td> Right Tackle </td><td> Penei Sewell </td><td> Colby Sorsdal </td><td></td></tr></tbody></table><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> The first thing that might come to your mind is that the Lions no longer have a fullback. Jason Cabinda has looked really rough during the preseason. Every time he's a chance to do something with the ball, he wasn't able to catch it. The Lions can realistically have a tight end come in and play that role anytime they want to use a full back. I have both Chase Cota and Antione Green making it this week. This is tentative becasue the Lions may go looking for receiver depth this week and that could wind up changing things. I went with Cota over Drummond becasue while Drummond has looked good in camp, he hasn't been able to put that on tape in preseason games. I think he's definitely a practice squad candidate. Cota has looked good when given the chance and showed on Saturday that he can do some things on special teams. Green is here because the Lions have no X receiver now that Mims is gone. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> The offensive line changed a little in the sense that they have five tackles instead of four guards. I think this could very well change before we do our depth chart next week. <h3> Defense </h3><table><tbody><tr><th> Position </th><th> Starter </th><th> Player 2 </th><th> Player 3 </th></tr><tr><td> Defensive End </td><td> John Cominsky </td><td> Josh Paschal </td><td></td></tr><tr><td> Nose Tackle </td><td> Alim McNeil </td><td> Levi Onwuzurike </td><td></td></tr><tr><td> Defensive Tackle </td><td> Isaiah Buggs </td><td> Brodric Martin </td><td></td></tr><tr><td> Edge </td><td> Aidan Hutchinson </td><td> Romeo Okwara </td><td></td></tr><tr><td> Weakside Linebacker </td><td> Alex Anzalone </td><td> Malcolm Rodriguez </td><td> Jalen Reeves-Maybin </td></tr><tr><td> Middle Linebacker </td><td> Jack Campbell </td><td> Derrick Barnes </td><td> Anthony Pittman </td></tr><tr><td> Sam Linebacker </td><td> Charles Harris </td><td> James Houston </td><td></td></tr><tr><td> Left Cornerback </td><td> Jerry Jacobs </td><td> Starling Thomas </td><td> Steven Gilmore </td></tr><tr><td> Strong Safety </td><td> Kerby Joseph </td><td> Ifeatu Melifonwu </td><td></td></tr><tr><td> Free Safety </td><td> Tracy Walker </td><td> Brady Breeze </td><td></td></tr><tr><td> Right Cornerback </td><td> Cameron Sutton </td><td> Will Harris </td><td></td></tr><tr><td> Nickel </td><td> C.J. Gardner-Johnson </td><td> Brian Branch </td><td></td></tr></tbody></table><nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate> Not a ton of changes here. Julian Okwara is out. There's just too many guys ahead of him and the Lions can use that spot for other players. Anthony Pittman being one of them. Pittman is just such a good special teams player that you have to include him. There's some shakeup in the secondary this week. It's pretty clear now that Emmanuel Moseley is not going to be ready to go when the season starts. That makes way for Starling Thomas to move up in the depth chart and open up a spot for Steven Gilmore. The undrafted rookie had a great second preseason game that saw him come up with an interception and a really nice pass break up. He also saw a ton of time Saturday. Lastly, <a href="https://www.freep.com/story/sports/nfl/lions/2023/08/20/resilience-pays-for-lions-cb-steven-gilmore-vs-jaguars/70633873007/" rel="nofollow"> Dan Campbell raved about him. </a> Then there's Brady Breeze. I had him on the practice squad last week. This week I have him on the 53 man roster since a spot opened up now that the Lions don't have a fullback anymore. Breeze has shown some stuff during camp and the preseason and he should be a nice special teams presence on this team. <nbtemplate data-id="AdPlaceholder" data-content="JTdCJTdE"></nbtemplate><h3> Special Teams </h3><table><tbody><tr><th> Position </th><th> Starter </th></tr><tr><td> Punter </td><td> Jack Fox </td></tr><tr><td> Kicker </td><td> Riley Patterson </td></tr><tr><td> Long Snapper </td><td> Scott Daly </td></tr></tbody></table> No change on the special teams end. This group is totally figured out at this point. <iframe height="600" src="https://atozsports.live/?post_type=poll&amp;p=387&amp;embed=1" width="100%"></iframe> Featured image by Kirthmon F.
