Detroit Lions comprehensive depth chart: Week 10 at Pittsburgh Steelers

The Detroit Lions are back on the road after their bye week, taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10, and hoping to notch their first victory on the season.

This comprehensive depth chart is designed to give fans an expanded look at the current roster, and you will often see things that vary from traditional depth charts. Occasionally you will see a player listed at multiple positions. This happens when a player holds key roles at multiple spots and doesn’t fit into just one box. Additionally, we added player numbers for easier tracking during the game, bolded the anticipated starters, and all rookies will have an asterisk (*) after their name.

The Lions did some roster shuffling in the two weeks since their last game, returning players from injured reserve, placing players on injured reserve, granting players their release, signing players off the practice squad, taking advantage of their priority No. 1 waiver claim, and elevating a player from the practice squad. At the end of the day, the Lions end the week with 52 players on the active roster and one elevated player, meaning they’ll have 53 players available to choose their game-day roster from.
