Now that training camp is about done, two rounds of player cuts are in the books and the preseason finale looms, it’s time to update the Detroit Lions 53-man roster projection.
The Lions helped provide some real clarity in their moves to get to the 80-man roster limit on Tuesday. Moving four players to the reserve/PUP and reserve/NFI lists opened up those four roster posts and showed where the positional holes will be from those moves.
Here’s the latest set of 53-man projections, with a couple of asterisks that I’ll explain too. Note that this is just for the initial 53-man roster. Things change with waiver claims and the players on reserve lists coming back.
