Detroit Lions depth chart and 53-man roster for the 2025 season entering Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers.

Former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski is no stranger to Super Bowl glory, and now he’s predicting that the Detroit Lions will be the next team to capture the coveted Lombardi Trophy. The future Pro Football Hall of Famer shared his prognostication on the Kay Adams-hosted “Up & Adams” show Tuesday.

Thomas was a fifth-round pick out of Auburn for the Jaguars in 2020. He has played double-digit games in each of his five seasons in the league, with a ton of snaps on special teams.

Offensively, the Lions are led by Jared Goff, who was dominant last season. They have surrounded him with top-tier talent in Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs, and David Montgomery. Detroit still has a solid all-around offensive line as well.

The Detroit Lions are back with a vengeance in 2025, and fans won't want to miss a minute of the action. Here's how to stream every game live this season.

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.

It was expected that the Detroit Lions were going to add depth to the current group of pass-rushing options. Even with one of the league's brightest stars in Aidan Hutchinson, there is a lack of depth that could be improved by bringing in a proven veteran option.

The Detroit Lions on Tuesday claimed two defensive linemen off of waivers, adding Tyler Lacy and Tyrus Wheat to the active roster.
