Lions Lock In 14 Practice Squad Players | Detroit Lions News

The Detroit Lions just locked in their 14-man practice squad — a strategic move to build depth, develop young talent, and keep options open for the season. With rules allowing teams to protect up to four players weekly and elevate two for games without roster impact, this squad is a dynamic pipeline. From QB Luke Altmyer’s arm and confidence to veteran LB Joe Bachie and seasoned receiver Tom Kennedy, the mix blends experience with upside. Defensive linemen like Chris Smith and Ben Stille bring grit and versatility, while seventh-rounder Tyre West gets a chance to grow. This isn’t just filler — it’s future-proofing the roster.
