Detroit Lions release updated Week 4 depth chart ahead of Panthers game

The Detroit Lions have released an updated depth chart for Week 4 as they travel to face the Carolina Panthers on Sunday Night Football. The list shows quarterback Jared Goff as the starter, with Josh Dobbs as the backup, and notes running back Jahmyr Gibbs as the lead back while Isiah Pacheco remains on injured reserve with an MCL strain and back injury expected to sideline him until December.

Wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Isaac TeSlaa, Tay Martin and Tom Kennedy are listed, and tight ends Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright are projected to start, while Tyler Conklin is marked inactive. On the offensive line, projected starters are left tackle Penei Sewell, left guard Christian Mahogany, center Juice Scruggs, right guard Tate Ratledge and right tackle Blake Miller, with several reserves and injury designations noted.

Defensively, the chart lists interior linemen Alim McNeill, Tyleik Williams and Skyler Gill-Howard, with Levi Onwuzurike also in the rotation. Edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson is slated to start, joined by rush end DJ Wonnum and big end Tyler Lacy. Linebackers Jack Campbell, Derrick Barnes and Malcolm Rodriguez are projected starters, with Amen Ogbongbemiga added to the active roster this week.

In the secondary, cornerbacks D.J. Reed (questionable with a rib injury), Roger McCreary, Ennis Rakestraw, Rock Ya-Sin and Khalil Dorsey are listed, while safeties Chuck Clark, Christian Izien and Jalen Mills (elevated from the practice squad) are on the depth chart. Special teams include punter Jack Fox, kicker Jake Bates and long snapper Hogan Hatten, with Tom Kennedy handling kickoff and punt return duties.

The depth chart reflects recent roster moves, injury updates and the status of players who changed numbers after the preseason.
