Detroit Lions special team huddle before kickoff against Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the first half of the NFC divisional round at Ford Field in Detroit on Sunday, Jan. 21. 2024. The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, making it an excellent time to look at the Detroit Lions roster with an updated depth chart.
This version of the Lions depth chart lists/ranks all players, highlights the team’s current projected starters (in bold), and identifies the newly drafted rookies with an asterisk (*), giving fans a perspective on areas the team improved in the NFL Draft.
Of note: following the draft, the Lions roster sits at 76 players, leaving 14 spots available for free agents. We are keeping tabs on the UDFA rookies reportedly signing with Detroit in our tracker, but because those names have not been confirmed by the team, they are not included on the current depth chart.
