Lions Wide Receivers situation ( 2022 season )

Denzel Mims and Antoine Green are subject to the waiver claims process, if released. Hence, that could be a factor in how the Lions proceed, if it's close between the two players. Mims is the more likely player to be claimed off waivers, if both were on the waiver wire at this time. Plenty could change by the time the Lions make the cutdown to 53 players roster decisions.

The Lions have a WR corp with a variety of skill sets. It's going to be interesting to see how Ben Johnson decides how to mix and match the Lions WRs, as well as the other Lions skill players that the Lions plan on using in one or more WR roles, at times.

Lions and Jaguars to have Joint 2023 Training Camp Practices

Jameson Williams has less than a 1% chance of being cleared to play in the Lions pre-season finale at Carolina. I would be shocked if Williams even practices next week. It's more likely than not that Williams won't be practicing again with the Lions until at least when he's allowed to under the terms of his NFL suspension.

Amon-Ra St. Brown probably will be kept out of the Panthers pre-season game, unless he's able to practice for at least a couple of days next week without any limitations.

Lions vs. Jaguars preview: Pre-Season Game # 2 ( 2023)

detroit-lions-forum.proboards.com/thread/1849/lions-jaguars-preview-season-game

I'm of the opinion that Dylan Drummond is going to survive the Cutdown to 53, with Drummond being on the Lions 53 man opener day roster.

Whether the Lions go with 6 WRs, with the initial 53 man roster and /or in the opening day 53 man roster, remains to be seen? Special Teams will very likely be a key part of the decision making process on which WRs the Lions keep, beyond the top 4, and how many WRs the Lions decide to keep.

Lions cut DT Christian Covington,T Germaine Ifedi,-11 others

detroit-lions-forum.proboards.com/thread/1863/lions-christian-covington-germaine-ifedi

Of the 3 WR that appear to be in the mix for the Lions 5th and possibly 6th WR spot on the Lions initial 53 man roster, I think Antoine Green has the greatest chance of being claimed off waivers on Wednesday. This is assuming that Green didn't suffer a significant knee injury at Carolina, in the pre-season finale. With Chad Cota having the least chance of being claimed off waivers on Wednesday.

A reason why I believe Dylan Drummond is more likely than not going to survive the cutdown to 53 is he appears to be the Lions 2nd best slot WR option on the Lions 53 man roster, with Amon-Ra St. Brown being the best by far.

As long as the current Lions WRs remain relatively healthy, this is a unit I believe the Lions can win with.
