Lions-49ers Eli Harold trade: What it means for Detroit’s roster The Detroit Lions made a pretty significant move on Thursday Authentic Kerryon Johnson Jersey , trading for 49ers linebacker Eli Harold. With just over two weeks left to solidify their roster, the move has drastically changed the landscape of the Lions’ depth chart. While Harold is not necessarily a lock to make the final roster, considering he was a potential starter in San Francisco, it’s fair to assume he’ll immediately jump ahead of a few players and bump some defenders into the roster bubble or off the roster completely. EdgeLet’s start with the edge, since Harold’s versatility there will likely make him an asset where the Lions may be the weakest. Though I doubt Devon Kennard’s starting job is in danger, Harold could very well be the team’s Kennard 2.0. That could spell trouble for a couple of edge guys in the rotation. Namely, both 2017 undrafted free agents Jeremiah Valoaga and Alex Barrett. Valoaga has been a consensus “IN” for our weekly Bubble Watch, but Barrett’s spot has been much more uncertain. Adding a guy like Harold could spell doom for Barrett, but the young defender does still have practice squad eligibility. LinebackerHarold doesn’t necessarily bring the solid coverage the Lions may be seeking from this unit, so it’s unlikely that Jalen Reeves-Maybin or Miles Killebrew will be affected much by this move. I think Christian Jones and Jonathan Freeny are also likely still safe.However Authentic Matthew Stafford Jersey , this makes it a lot more unlikely for an underdog like Chad Meredith, Trevor Bates or Freddie Bishop to make the 53. At 6-foot-3, 257 pounds Harold is built almost exactly like these three players, and we’ve seen each play a little on the edge, as well. Bishop, specifically, was just climbing the ranks after some impressive performances in training camp and the preseason, but this move could really hurt his chances to make the roster. Bishop, too, has practice squad eligibility Womens Sylvester Williams Jersey , so he could still stick around if he doesn’t make the 53.Lions waive Anthony Zettel, sign DE Romeo Okwara The Detroit Lions waived defensive lineman Anthony Zettel and were awarded former New York Giants defensive end Romeo Okwara via waivers on Wednesday. The news was first reported by ESPN reporter Field Yates and later confirmed by the Lions organization.While the move is fairly straight forward—replacing one defensive lineman with another—the transaction comes after the 53-man roster cutdowns and many NFL observers had assumed that Zettel’s place on the Lions roster was secured, perhaps even as a starting option opposite Ezekiel Ansah.Instead, the Lions have decided to take their chances on the waiver wire, less than six days before their season opener against the New York Jets on “Monday Night Football.” Okwara, an undrafted lineman from Notre Dame, played for the Giants from 2016 until Tuesday, when he was released by the organization. He spent most of the 2017 season on the injured reserve, suffering from an issue with his knee. During this preseason, Okwara was productive for the Giants Color Rush Ricky Jean Francois Jersey , recording eight QB pressures—one sack, one hit, and six hurries according to Pro Football Focus’ Brett Whitefield.According to ESPN’s Michael Rothstein, Zettel, the sixth-round pick from the 2016 NFL Draft, was in the Lions locker room not an hour before he was waived.
