The Detroit Lions left Saturday with a 17-13 preseason win over the Washington Commanders. For players fighting for jobs, the result mattered considerably less than what happened during their snaps.
Detroit is approaching the NFL's Aug. 30 roster reduction deadline, leaving only one preseason game for players on the bubble to strengthen their cases. Several Lions helped themselves against Washington. A handful went the other direction.
That includes two players who were included in our previous 53-man roster projection.
Josh Dobbs produced Detroit's longest offensive highlight with a 50-yard touchdown run, but his afternoon included enough mistakes to keep the backup quarterback competition open.
Dobbs completed 7 of 12 passes for 74 yards with one interception. He was also responsible for two turnovers, including a first-quarter fumble that Washington returned for a touchdown.
