What are the Lions Biggest Strengths and Weaknesses as they Approach the Regular Season?

Depth at key positions tested with preseason games remaining

DETROIT – 14 practices have come and gone now for the Lions as they held their annual evening session on Monday, a Dan Campbell tradition. However with two preseason games still on the horizon, plenty of questions are still to be answered before the team has to cut their roster down to 53 players by August 30th.

In the meantime, Hobie Artigue was joined by Nolan Bianchi of the Detroit News and Ben Raven of MLive to take a big picture look at the Lions and where their talent and depth levels stand. Less than four weeks remain between now and when they host the Saints on September 13th but the guys zoom out to the season as a whole and talk what a reasonable expectation is for 2026 and how they get there.
