Lions roster by jersey number for the preseason game with the Indianapolis Colts

The Detroit Lions will play their second preseason game of the 2022 schedule when they take the field against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday, August 20th at 1 p.m. ET. Unlike the preseason opener against Atlanta, many starters are not expected to play for either team.

That can make identifying who is involved in the action tricky. To that end, here are all 85 players on the Lions’ active roster entering Saturday’s exhibition matchup with the Colts. They are listed by jersey number. Remember, not everyone will play.
