Detroit Lions updated 2024 depth chart: Week 4 vs. Seattle Seahawks on MNF

An updated look at the Detroit Lions 2024 depth chart heading into their Week 4 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks on “Monday Night Football.”

The Detroit Lions suffered several injuries in Week 3 that required a handful of roster moves ahead of their Week 4 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4.

The Lions placed Derrick Barnes, Marcus Davenport, and Ifeatu Melifonwu on injured reserve while signing wide receivers Tim Patrick and Allen Robinson earlier in the week. With three removed and just two added to the active roster, the Lions roster currently sits at 52 players.

Additionally, despite having an open spot on the roster and the ability to elevate up to two players from the practice squad, the Lions elected to not make a roster move on Monday.

To help you get prepared for “Monday Night Football,” we have a detailed and updated Lions depth chart that not only lists/ranks all the players but gives you the latest news on roster moves, injury statuses, and other relevant developing stories.
