Bubble Players Make Their Case | Detroit Lions News

The Detroit Lions’ preseason win over Washington was less about the scoreboard and more about survival — as roster cuts loom, players on the bubble made bold statements on the field. Backup QB Josh Dobbs flashed a 50-yard TD pass but also fumbled twice and threw an interception, while Luke Altmyer played cleaner and kept the QB race wide open. Wideout Dominic Lovett’s snaps plummeted from 39 to just 14, with only two targets, making his special teams role critical — and his roster chances dimmer. Center Seth McLaughlin struggled with pressure and penalties, facing stiff competition elsewhere on the line. Tackle Colby Sorsdal gave up a sack and looked shaky in pass protection, losing ground against Miles Frazier and Blake Miller. With one game left before the deadline, every mistake is magnified — and every play could be their last chance to prove they belong.
