Is Hendon in danger of losing his place on the team?

He'll be on the team. He's cheap and you got to have 3 QB's but his mobility is nice to have for scout team situations.

But I will not be surprised if the Lions bring in another QB. It was not pretty from either guy last night. I'm out on Kyle Allen for sure lol.

"1. Detroit Lions​

Notable players under 25: CB Terrion Arnold (22), DT Tyleik Williams (22), RB Jahmyr Gibbs (23), S Brian Branch (23), TE Sam LaPorta (24), OT Penei Sewell (24), G Tate Ratledge (24), WR Jameson Williams (24), LB Jack Campbell (24), edge Aidan Hutchinson (24), S Kerby Joseph (24)

With all the draft hits in recent years, the Lions have formed one of the best rosters in the league and turned into a perennial Super Bowl contender. It says plenty that the Lions’ young group is ranked ahead of a team with Stroud, Anderson and Stingley."

Bodes well for the future.

Jackson (probably out for the year).

Rakestraw out for a while according to Dan.

Tough blow to some depth, especially Rakestraw. Good thing they brought Ya-Sin in.

IR: McNeill, Paschal, Rodriguez, Wingo, Frazier
Out For Year: Onwuzurike, Rakestraw, Jackson


- Paschal really the big question mark on if he starts on IR or not. They said he should be practicing by early September so maybe he misses 1 or 2 games.
- Holmes seems to indicate they're going to sign a proven, FA DE (Already talked with Judon and Za'Darius Smith). My guess if Paschal will only miss 1 or 2 games, they try and sneak Muhammad on the PS if they bring in a veteran.
- I have Cunningham making it, he's been good in camp. But Pittman has been a special teams ace, so I could see them going with 3 safeties (since Maddox is playing both CB and S) and going 7 LB's. Especially with how much Brad values ST contributors.
- I also wouldn't be surprised if they add a vet CB after cutdowns with Rakestraw done.
- Jamarco Jones might get in over Awosika and they go with 5 OT's. Skipper looking rough/injury and Manu not coming along as quicky as they hope.
