Detroit Lions initial 2024 practice squad tracker

Like all NFL teams, the Detroit Lions get to create a 16-person practice squad as soon as the initial waiver claims from the roster cutdowns are processed at 12 p.m ET on Wednesday, August 28th.

Of those 16 players, six can be veterans who have at least four years of NFL service. Those would be players who were “released” in recent days. The other 10 can come from players who were “waived” or were street free agents before cutdowns without four years of service.

Of course, Tim Patrick to the Lions practice squad was reported yesterday.

We have a quarterback now, too.

This one is a little surprising, but the Lions appear to have brought back WR Donovan Peoples-Jones to the practice squad.

Update: Peoples-Jones did not appear on the Lions official transaction list.
