Over the past two preseason games, there have been some significant changes to the Detroit Lions’ roster bubble. The quarterback battle has been turned on its head, the wide receiver room is getting complicated, and there are a lot of moving parts when it comes to the depth on this offensive line.

Let’s take a look at which “bubble” players our staff thinks are going to make or miss the roster when it comes to the Lions offense. It’s Week 5 of Bubble Watch.

Assumed in: Jared GoffKyle Allen: 11 “IN” votes (up 2)Hendon Hooker: 0 votes (down 3)

After another very solid performance, Kyle Allen has taken a commanding lead for the backup quarterback job. Dan Campbell bluntly admitted as much Saturday night.

The question now turns to whether Hendon Hooker has warranted a spot on the roster as QB3. If the Lions still believe there’s enough to be developed there, they may not have a choice but to keep him. A quarterback with as much raw talent will likely attract a team searching the waiver wire. However, our staff has apparently seen enough. Not a single one is keeping a third quarterback, which likely means the Lions may have to search the wire to add a new quarterback to the practice squad, as they typically like having three players in their QB room during the season.

Assumed in: Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, Craig Reynolds, Sione Vaki

With Vaki returning to action and looking solid on both offense and special teams, this is the most straightforward position on the team.

Assumed in: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Kalif Raymond, Isaac TeSlaaTim Patrick (11 votes)Jackson Meeks: 8 votes (up 8)Dominic Lovett: 6 votes (down 5)Ronnie Bell: 0 votes (no change)Tom Kennedy: 0 votes (no change)Jakobie Keeney-James: 0 votes (no change)

Jackson Meeks has now produced two strong preseason games in a row, while also consistently making plays in training camp. Combining the Falcons and Dolphins game, Meeks has 10 catches for 171 yards and two touchdowns. Meanwhile, Dominic Lovett is just coming back from an injury that sidelined him for about two weeks. In the game, he had another drop, clearly making some on staff concerned about his spot on the roster.

Of course, it doesn’t have to be an “either-or” situation with the two receivers. Three people on staff have the Lions keeping seven receivers—a high number considering they only kept four on the initial 53-man roster last year, but certainly not unheard of for an NFL team. Detroit’s roster at wide receiver is far more young and talented than it was last year, so it makes sense to keep more.

Assumed in: Sam LaPorta, Brock WrightShane Zylstra: 10 votes (down 1)Zach Horton: 2 votes (up 1)

Zylstra remains the favorite to maintain the TE3 job, but after playing a ton in the preseason game against the Dolphins, Horton is making some headway. Horton remains the better option as a fullback, but Zylstra has some experience there and is certainly the more experienced receiver. Some local reporters have played around with the idea of keeping just two tight ends to help create room for a QB3, WR7, or depth at another position, but the POD staff isn’t going in that direction.

Assumed in: Taylor Decker, Penei Sewell, Giovanni ManuDan Skipper: 11 votes (no change)Jamarco Jones: 0 votes (down 1)

After more struggles for Jamarco Jones in Saturday’s preseason game (three pressures, one sack allowed; 29.5 pass blocking grade), our staff is fully in on Dan Skipper winning the OT3 job. Skipper looked somewhat steady against the Dolphins.

Assumed in: Graham Glasgow, Tate Ratledge, Christian MahoganyKayode Awosika: 11 votes (no change)Kingsley Eguakun: 10 votes (up 6)Trystan Colon: 0 votes (down 5)Miles Frazier: 0 votes (down 2)Netane Muti: 0 votes (no change)Michael Niese: 0 votes (no change)

After learning that Trystan Colon’s injury from the second preseason game is expected to sideline him for “a while,” the backup center job is now a two-man race. Kingsley Eguakun has a strong lead according to our staff, and it makes sense since he’s been repping earlier regularly. However, I personally think Michael Niese is a bit closer than our votes suggest. He has versatility at the guard position and has been rotating with Eguakun fairly regularly. I thought both players had strong showings against the Dolphins.

The other battle that is seemingly going on is Kayode Awosika vs. Netane Muti for the top reserve guard position. Awosika has been holding the lead in Bubble Watch all camp, but this, too, feels pretty close.
