Lions Roster Moves and Practice Squad Updates | Detroit Lions News

The Detroit Lions made some bold roster moves after cutting their initial 53-man squad — Josh Dobbs locks in as QB backup, they’re trimming to just four wideouts, and surprisingly, tight end Jackson Meeks stays. Defensively, rookie LB Jimmy Rolder avoids the IR, but safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph head to PUP, while UDFA Eric ONeill earns a spot on the main roster. Practice squad is already taking shape with returnee Lucky Jackson, while OG Michael Niese goes to IR without a team claiming him — his season’s over unless he settles an injury claim. And crucially, none of the waived players got picked up, meaning the Lions can bring them back for the practice squad as they finalize their 2024 plans.
