Ahead of every Detroit Lions game in 2025, we will provide readers with an updated depth chart of the team’s roster based on what we are seeing at practices. In Week 1, on Sunday afternoon, the Detroit Lions will face off against the Green Bay Packers in an NFC North matchup to kick off the 2025 regular season.

“Anybody we believe fits what we’re about and is somebody that continues to put out the effort, continues to improve themselves, they fit what we’re about, then yeah, we’re all about it if both sides can agree. You can’t keep everybody, but you do your best to. I do believe in continuity as much as possible,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said of his 2025 roster of players.
