This past week, the Detroit Lions had some notable news that they wouldn’t be giving an RFA offer to offensive tackle Matt Nelson. I’d consider that significantly important as the Lions don’t have much for a backup tackle on the roster.
Dan Skipper is set to hit the free agent market and while he could be back, he’s only started in 5 games while playing in a total of 29 games. Aside from Skipper, they’ve got two practice squad tackles with Obinna Eze and Darrin Paulo. While they could surprise us, I still wouldn’t expect much contribution from either player if the Lions were in a pinch. Time will tell with both of those players.
