Lions Rank 5th, Ravens 6th in NFL Roster Update After Preseason Week 1

Summary
Detroit landed at No. 5 and Baltimore at No. 6 in the latest NFL roster power rankings released after Preseason Week 1.
The Lions' placement rests on a roster that powered 27 regular-season wins across 2023 and 2024, including an NFC-best 15-2 mark in 2024, even after a 2025 collapse from 7-4 to out of the playoffs.
Baltimore stayed just behind them on the strength of Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers and a talented secondary led by Kyle Hamilton, though its rebuilt interior offensive line remains a question.
The update follows the same ranking release that slotted the Patriots 11th and Packers 12th, extending the leaguewide roster reset after the first week of preseason.
