DETROIT — The Detroit Lions have one more opportunity to get some game reps before the 2025 season begins as they host the Houston Texans in their preseason finale. Saturday afternoon’s game is most important for many of the players on the roster bubble right now, with cuts looming on Tuesday.

Lacy and Wheat add depth to one of the Lions' thinnest positions. The Lions kept nine defensive linemen at roster cutdown, with Roy Lopez, Pat O'Connor, Al-Quadin Muhammad, Mekhi Wingo and Chris Smith backing up starters Aidan Hutchinson, Marcus Davenport, DJ Reader and Tyleik Williams.
