Bubble watch: 8 Lions who could be battling for their roster lives in preseason finale

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions are heading into Saturday’s preseason finale with a handful of roster spots up for grabs.

The bubble is a cruel place to be this time of year; where one or two plays can determine whether you earn one of those remaining jobs or end up cut, unsure whether your next opportunity will come somewhere else, on a practice squad or not at all.

Earlier this week, we highlighted the ongoing roster battles for the five or six vacancies coach Dan Campbell said are still waiting to be filled.

Here are some of the players we feel have the most to gain with a strong close to the preseason against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Wide receiver Isaiah Williams

The Big Ten’s most productive receiver the past two seasons, Williams went undrafted due to his size and lackluster athletic testing. But after a sluggish start to his first NFL offseason, he’s acclimated and is coming on strong, saving his best performances for the team’s earlier preseason games.
