An updated 2023-24 Detroit Lions depth chart based on our observations from recent games and practices.
The Detroit Lions are taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Divisional round of the 2023-24 NFL playoffs and while there hasn’t been a ton of roster movement since last week, there are a few updates to the depth chart that are worth taking note of.
To help out your viewing experience, we have created the most comprehensive and up-to-date look at the Lions’ current depth chart with easy viewing access and links to important articles. We have listed each player’s number next to their name, bolded the projected starters, italicized injured players, and added an asterisk* after the rookies’ names.
Additionally, with the announcement of this year’s Pro Bowl teams and All-Pro teams , we have added a (PB) after the name of each Pro Bowl er, as well as (PB-A#) after this year’s Pro Bowl alternates, with the number following PB-A to indicate which level of alternate they are. All-Pros will be recognized by AP1 (first-team All-Pro) or AP2 (second-team All-Pro).
