We are now two weeks into Detroit Lions training camp and the Lions roster is starting to figure itself out. This week will no doubt be a big week for just about everyone. Especially the fringe guys that are fighting for a roster spot. 

The Lions will host the New York Giants for two joint practices this week and then will host them for the first preseason game of the year. It's time to get some questions answered. 

Until then, it's time to update our evolving depth chart. Before we show you this weeks, take a look at last weeks edition here. Lets' jump into this weeks. 

Offense 

Position	Starter	Player 2	Player 3
Quarterback	Jared Goff	Nate Sudfeld
Running Back	David Montgomery	Jahmyr Gibbs	Justin Jackson
Fullback	Jason Cabinda
Left Receiver	Josh Reynolds	Denzel Mims
Slot Receiver	Amon-Ra St. Brown	Kalif Raymond
Right Receiver	Marvin Jones	Dylan Drummond
Tight End	Sam LaPorta	James Mitchell	Darrell Daniels
Left Tackle	Taylor Decker	Matt Nelson
Left Guard	Jonah Jackson	Logan Stenberg
Center	Frank Ragnow
Right Guard	Graham Glasgow	Halapoulivaati Vaitai
Right Tackle	Penei Sewell	Colby Sorsdal

There's some changes here this week that are somewhat significant. The first one is that newly signed tight end Darrell Daniels makes the roster. He just signed with the Lions last week and this is a bit of a Babe Ruth calling his shot moment for me, but I think he has what it takes to jump Brock Wright and make the Lions 53 man roster. 

Daniels is a better blocker than Wright and he's faster than Wright. Daniels can essentially be like another Darren Fells for the Lions. A primary blocker that also has pass catching ability. 

The other big one is that undrafted rookie Dylan Drummond makes the roster over seventh round pick Antione Green. The big reason here is that Denzel Mims sort of makes Green redundant. I think Green definitely makes the Lions practice squad, but Drummond should be able to do what it takes as a receiver and a special teams guy and make the roster. Turns out other people feel might that way too. 

Defense

Position	Starter	Player 2	Player 3
Defensive End	John Cominsky	Josh Paschal
Nose Tackle	Alim McNeil	Levi Onwuzurike
Defensive Tackle	Isaiah Buggs	Brodric Martin
Edge	Aidan Hutchinson	Romeo Okwara
Weakside Linebacker	Derrick Barnes	Malcolm Rodriguez	Jalen Reeves-Maybin
Middle Linebacker	Jack Campbell	Alex Anzalone
Sam Linebacker	Charles Harris	James Houston	Julian Okwara
Left Cornerback	Jerry Jacobs	Emmanuel Moseley	Starling Thomas V
Strong Safety	Kerby Joseph	Savion Smith
Free Safety	Tracy Walker
Right Cornerback	Cameron Sutton	Will Harris
Nickel	C.J. Gardner-Johnson	Brian Branch

There's no changes on the defensive side of the ball this week. This unit seems to be pretty well figured out. Things could get more interesting next week after we've seen the fallout from the preseason game against the Giants and the joint practices that precede them. 

Special Teams 

Position	Starter
Punter	Jack Fox
Kicker	Parker Romo
Long Snapper	Jake McQuaide

Again, no changes here. We'll get to see the kicker battle up close and personal on Friday night though. Parker Romo seems to have the edge, but not by much. Riley Patterson could find himself taking over the role if he has a big game. 

Unknown Lions rookie is getting national attention

Last week we talked about undrafted rookie receiver Dylan Drummond and how he has been rising up the Lions depth chart and has a chance to find himself on the Lions 53 man roster. The former Eastern Michigan Eagle was a complete unknown up until then. Now he's getting some national attention from the crew […]
