Detroit Lions Mailbag: Are the Lions done adding to the secondary, can the defense be fixed, and what happens when Cade Mays returns? Mailbag

In an analytical mailbag column, writer Mike Payton assessed the Detroit Lions' roster options following the opening two weeks of the season. Payton stated that he expects the Lions to seek additions to their secondary via trade or practice squads as the deadline approaches, particularly around Week 5.

Addressing the offensive backfield, Payton noted that Jahmyr Gibbs remains Detroit's primary running back rather than operating in a balanced tandem. He also argued against perceptions that Detroit's defense will finish the year as the league's worst unit.
