Detroit Lions depth chart for Week 3 game against Baltimore Ravens.
are looking to prove themselves as legitimate Super Bowl contenders with a win over the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Here is a depth chart for the Lions entering Week 3 of the 2025 season.
Because practice squad elevations for Monday's game will be announced after publication, a list of options is included within this week's depth chart.Goff has a chance for a statement game matching up against Lamar Jackson. On the heels of a strong showing against Ben Johnson and the Bears, the Lions' veteran passer will get a primetime opportunity to show that he's among the league's best against a tough Ravens defense.Vaki is listed without an injury designation following a week in which he was a full participant in practice every day. He'll help the, but likely not on offense as a majority of the work will be held for Gibbs and Montgomery. Establishing the run will be key to opening up the offense against Baltimore.Practice squad: Malik Cunningham, Ronnie Bell, Tom Kennedy, Jackson Meeks After another outstanding one-handed catch and a small increase in snaps last week, TeSlaa could see a gradual incline in action in Week 3. Detroit likely still rolls with Raymond as the primary No. 3 option, but TeSlaa could be in more packages moving forward due to his production.With Zylstra going on injured reserve, the Lions could consult one of their two practice squad options as elevations for Monday's game. Horton has been with the team since the spring as an undrafted free agent, while Dwelly is a veteran who has plenty of experience. Either one could help the Lions as the third tight end option.Starters: Taylor Decker , Christian Mahogany , Graham Glasgow , Tate Ratledge , Penei Sewell Injured: OG Miles Frazier , OT Jamarco Jones , OG/OT Colby Sorsdal , OT Justin Herron Decker is questionable with a shoulder injury, but at least one of his absences from practice this week was for rest purposes. He played last week under the questionable tag, and there's been little concern about his availability at this stage. Elsewhere, the Lions are healthy across the board up front.Injured: Alim McNeill , Levi Onwuzurike throughout the first two games on the defensive line, with O'Connor also dabbling at defensive end in certain packages. Wingo got plenty of action in his first appearance of the year, and his availability could push one or both of Lacy and Smith to be a healthy scratch.With Davenport already ruled out, and the potential for his absence to be more than just one game, the Lions could carry Wheat as an active for the first time this year. Muhammad will take on an increased role as a pass-rusher after a strong start to the year, and Carter is a candidate to be elevated.Backups: Zach Cunningham , Grant Stuard , Trevor Nowaske Nowaske was a full participant all week and is expected to make his 2025 debut, which will give the Lions some valuable depth defensively as well as another productive special teams player. The team has not done much rotating in terms of snap distribution, with their starting three linebackers taking a majority of the reps through the first two games. Of note, Campbell is questionable but participated in each of the last two days of practice.Injured: Ennis Rakestraw Reed is questionable with a knee injury, with two limited days of practice before a full day Saturday. Elsewhere, the Lions will lean on Arnold against an explosive Ravens receiving corps. Ya-Sin and Maddox are both available in a pinch.Joseph is also questionable due to a knee injury, and was limited in practice all week. It's the second straight week in which he has been limited in practice, and as a result may not be at full strength. Still, he recorded his first interception of the season last week and has paired nicely with Branch.The Lions could work Vaki in on returns in his first game back, but through each of the first two games they have had Stuard and Saylors back deep on kickoffs. No changes are expected elsewhere.Sports journalist who has covered the Detroit Lions the past three NFL seasons.
