Episode notes
QB Room Shakeup
- The QB2 battle favored Kyle Allen after strong preseason play and Hendon Hooker failed to impress.
- Dan Campbell hinted Hooker may need a "change of scenery" rather than a roster spot in Detroit.
Running Back Depth Plan
- The Lions' top three running backs are set with Montgomery, Gibbs, and Reynolds securing roles.
- Jacob Saylor and Sione Vaki are practice-squad candidates to preserve special teams value.
Receiver Room Is A Numbers Game
- Wide receiver roster spots are a numbers game between veterans and rookies like Tim Patrick, Jackson Meeks, and Dominic Lovett.
- Teams may protect Meeks over Lovett because Meeks' preseason tape is public and more teams might claim smaller slot types.
