After trimming the team's initial roster to 50 before freeing up a fourth spot by shipping wide receiver Tim Patrick to Jacksonville for a 2026 draft pick, the Lions filled their final opening on Friday, claiming former Las Vegas Raiders safety Thomas Harper off waivers.
Very strong back 7. Perhaps Campbell has improved his coverage skills. We shall see. Currently Anzalone is the best coverage linebacker. These nickel/safety hybrids are being used more and more. Tyrus Wheat gets a couple of games to show case what he can do. I expect Paschall to be ready by week 5 or week 6 to play. We will see
The Lions won 15 games in 2024. That has only happened nine times in the history of the NFL by 9 different teams. Have the Lions regressed? Perhaps, but not by much on paper. Have many of the other teams we will play made stellar advances in personnel? Doubtful. We expect teams like Buffalo, Baltimore, Philly, KC, Washington and a few others to still be really good teams. So why not the Lions also? We are in a new era of Liondom.

Wow. They really didn’t think much of the preseason safety crew.
He’s a shorty. Dj, amik and now him. Hope he’s a late bloomer like tessla
Uh so I guess we’re rolling with 3 DE?
Stop guessing and read Justin's reporting :-)
lol sorry my bad
Poor Tyrus Sweat.
As the president and sole member of the Tyrus Wheat fan club, I know he will find motivation from the disrespect.
I knew the Lions weren’t gonna start the season with only 8 DB’s…
top special teams contributor is a common phrase for these waiver claims.
