From the article

If the Lions cut Dobbs, I think the Lions could get the best of both worlds: keep Altmyer on the 53 and off waivers while also re-signing Dobbs to the practice squad and elevating him to the game-day roster for the first two weeks.

STACKED’s take

NeutralDepth Chart

Dobbs projected off 53-man roster but could return via practice squad elevation.

The source projects Dobbs as OUT of the 53-man roster but proposes a roster workaround: cut Dobbs to keep undrafted rookie Luke Altmyer on the 53 and off waivers, then re-sign Dobbs to the practice squad and elevate him for the first two weeks. The source notes Dobbs has the benefit of not being subject to waivers due to accrued seasons, enabling this flexibility. If Altmyer falters and Dobbs succeeds, he would be an easy choice to keep.
