Depth chart changes: Larry Borom projected to start at right tackle
Short-week absences prompted immediate depth-chart adjustments that will shape the offensive line for Thursday night’s primetime road game.
In this brief: 2 sections 1 min read
RT — Larry Borom is listed as the projected starter in Blake Miller’s absence.
LG — Ben Bartch is projected to start after replacing Mahogany in Week 1.
Center Juice Scruggs is listed and progressed to full participant midweek, providing continuity in the middle.
The Lions still have several OL on the active roster and practice squad to provide depth.
The team entered Week 2 with only 52 active players at one point; Pride of Detroit noted the club could make late elevations or signings before kickoff.
The short week limits installation time for backups, increasing the importance of veteran experience (Borom, Bartch) on game day.
