The Lions cut down their roster to the required 53 players on Tuesday and on Wednesday they altered the wide receiver room by trading Tim Patrick to the Jaguars for a 2026 sixth-round pick. The veteran Patrick appeared in 16 games for Detroit in 2024 and caught 33 passes for 394 yards and a trio of touchdowns. He was a useful depth piece but the Lions clearly feel there are better options on the roster as it stands.
With a week and a half to go before the regular season kicks off it seems the wide receiver depth chart is just about set in Detroit. Here's what the Lions' updated depth chart looks like after the Patrick trade as opening kickoff against the Packers nears.
