Some MAJOR could be coming for the Lions soon.....

Well with the season opener a week and a half away for the Lions against the New Orleans Saints at home Made a couple of more moves on Wednesday creating a couple of openings on that 53-man roster But also there were some comments made especially from head coach Dan Campbell that were intriguing that suggests to me That there still might be some major moves left before we start that season opener against New Orleans We're gonna talk about that a whole lot more on this edition of Lions Digest. Hey everybody yours truly captain Lou here want to again welcome those of you that are watching us for the first time here to Lions Digest and Again, we invite all of you hit that subscribe button. It's free and Be a part of the Lions Digest discussion. The response so far has been absolutely amazing Daily updates right here on the Lions on Lions Digest. All right, we talked about it It was made news yesterday that Seth McLaughlin Reserve lineman for the Lions backup center right now Anyways, and Jabari small both were waived by the Lions creating a couple of openings on a 53-man roster now these were more or less made yesterday a Wednesday rather instead of On Sunday at the deadline because they're banged up and they potentially would have had to have made injury settlements at that time So what that also means is by waiving them today They could go through waivers quicker and potentially get on that practice squad anytime now by Friday That way they can be there in case they're needed with these couple of openings now on the roster It even makes things a little bit thinner on the offensive line for the Lions Juice Scruggs right now. He's the only center that the Lions have on the roster. He's taking over for Kate Mays You see him there in the picture He's gonna be out at least until week five for the Lions And so that means that one of the options probably would have to be that Tate Rattlage Would have to move over and be the center should Scruggs need a couple of plays off Bartch might be an option as well, but that's gonna leave the Lions awfully thin on the offensive line So one wonders if McLaughlin may get called up off that practice roster again Well, one of the guys obviously that we don't have to worry about is Penae Sewell He got moved over to the left side of the line. Blake Miller's gonna be on the right I get it, but Sewell is gonna cover the backside now of Jared Goff. He's an all-pro I've got all the confidence in the world in him so much so that I am gonna trade Yes on him being the protector of the year in the National Football League with our brand new partner here on Lions Digest And that's Kelshi now remember with Kelshi you're trading directly against other users your peers Not the traditional sports books. You're bringing you're buying rather yes or no contracts on events sporting events Politics the weather all of that and more on Kelshi now if you take a look at the chart With the protector of the year, I'm taking Penae Sewell. He's been rated right around the top all year. He's one of the more Yes traded contracts for protector of the year, but you're still getting a great payout on this as well So put $25 down Look what you'll get in return at the end of the year a great payout if he is indeed voted Protector of the year. Why do I use $25 you ask? Well, it's simple if you're interested in trying out Kelshi use the link in the description and trade $25 with the code digest NFL and you'll get $25 added to your account instantly all the games start next week and they all trade on Kelshi well getting back to that offensive line. We mentioned it It's a little bit thin and some other questions still abound Dan Campbell the head coach of the Lions made some very Interesting comments on Christian mahogany. He said the players fighting for left guard position might not even be on the team yet So that tells me right now that they're out there looking for moves. But what is left now? some of the possibilities as Reported by Mike Payton from A to Z sports as they may go back into the market looking at guys like Lake and Tomlinson Remember him or potentially will Hernandez to bring them in as an extra guard for the 53 man roster I'm not sure if I'm all like jumping and doing cartwheels with Lake and Tomlinson He was here for the Lions. You remember first round draft pick. He didn't exactly set the world on fire So I'm a little bit worried about that now again This could just be a formality for the Lions and they could bring back Seth McLaughlin off the practice squad if he's deemed ready to go So it's a smooth move. He's feeling better But I you know, like I said, this is going to be very interesting for the Lions in the offseason they're thin and Getting rid of Seth McLaughlin the way they did. I know why they did it He's feeling better so they could put him on the practice squad. Maybe they can bring somebody in now Let's turn to the other side with that play with getting rid of Jamari small Jamari small the Lions now only have three running backs on the roster One wonders if they're gonna go after potentially Kareem hunt now, they've got Jacob sailors he right now is going to be the knuckles for the Lions probably and You've got him with Sean Bakke And that's it. That's all they've got on the roster right now with Jameer Gibbs So one wonders if the Lions are going to make a move on the wide or on the running back front They're gonna have to do something. They can't roll with just three running backs. It's funny. They had five now they're down to three so one wonders if they're gonna go after maybe Kareem hunt or Potentially another running back out there like an AJ Dillon will obviously keep our tabs with that. What would you do? If with these two roster spots open, I would love to see what your take is on it Would you go after a running back? Would you go after a wide receiver? O-line depth we talked about that earlier or potentially a defensive backfield a member of the backfield or two What would you go after with that as well? Now Justin Rogers is reporting to that Brad Holmes says on keeping just four wide receivers Brad Holmes admits that it's light and said that the rosters makeup today isn't necessarily what it will be next week or in the next month So again with that extra spot open, what are you gonna do there? What are the available wide receiver potentially for the Lions? Let's take a look at that. There's some names out there Brandon cooks. He's familiar with the Lions He's familiar obviously with Jared got Cedric Tillman. He's on the practice squad. I believe of the Titans it's either them or the commanders or They could go back to their practice squad. Why do I think it's going to be Tom Kennedy? I always think it's going to be him back on the roster for the Lions Lucky Johnson Dominic Levitt But all three of those are on the practice squad right now. They've got four wideouts They've got Tesla and they've got Meeks who's going to bounce back and forth along with Tay Martin They've got three tight ends on the right. They got Conklin back now as well. I beg your pardon So there are options there But these two roster spots create some openings and the one that I'm worried about again my biggest worry for the Lions right now Number one is all line depth with these moves and number two with only three running backs So I go back to ask you What would you do if you're the GM of the Lions if you're Brad Holmes? Would you go after running back help with these two openings wide receiver? O-line depth Defensive backfield or would you bring back somebody up from the practice squad would love to hear you It's love to hear your thoughts on that as we get closer and closer To the season opener against the Saints.
