Lions Roster Shake-Up After Cuts | Detroit Lions News

Lions’ roster still has plenty of question marks 11 days before their first game, with depth concerns swirling across the secondary, offensive line, and running back corps. Coach Holmes and special teams coordinator Dave Agnew gave candid updates after cuts, revealing a team leaning on backups and hoping for big leaps from young corners like Rock Ya-Sin and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. The RB room is especially thin after Isiah Pacheco’s IR placement and David Montgomery’s departure, with no clear timeline for Pacheco’s return. Wide receiver camp also shook up fans when Greg Dortch was cut — caught off guard, he said — amid fierce competition for just four spots. While extensions are in play for Brian Branch and Sam LaPorta, their injury histories make long-term commitments tricky. On the bright side, the young offensive line, led by Penei Sewell and Blake Miller, looks promising, and Holmes is bullish on the future potential of his younger defensive talent.
