While most of the Detroit Lions roster is set, there is one position that remains a bit of a mystery. Despite coach Dan Campbell’s pleas for a big-bodied wide receiver to step up in training camp, it never ended up happening, and now the Lions simply don’t have one on their 53-man roster.
That said, they are still on the hunt. Detroit quickly added veterans Tim Patrick and Allen Robinson to the team to compete with Donovan Peoples-Jones for that role—with all three of them currently on the practice squad. Patrick comes with a lot of hype from Denver Broncos fans, but two serious injuries in the past two years have put a damper on his career, and leave many justifiably wondering if he still has it in him.
