The Detroit Lions have some work to do.
After initially cutting their roster down to just 50 players, followed by a trade and a reported signing, the Lions still have three spots open on their regular-season roster. Chances are pretty good that changes on Wednesday, when the waiver wire opens up and the team is allowed to start adding to their practice squad at noon ET.
In this post, we will not only track the Lions’ additions to their active roster and practice squad, but also follow the destinations of the players the Lions recently cut. So if a former Lion gets claimed, you’ll see it here. If they clear waivers and return to the team, it’ll be here.
And at the bottom of the page, we’ll have a rolling, updating list of Detroit’s 53-man roster, so you can see what the big picture looks like.
