Detroit Lions Podcast: Projecting the final roster and bubble battles ahead of the NFL’s cutdown deadline

The latest live episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast is now available to watch or stream. Recorded on Tuesday night with one week to go until the Lions, like all NFL teams, are required to trim the roster from 90 to 53 players, this episode focuses on the cutdowns.

There are a few bubble battles around the Lions roster, and that includes how many players to keep at one position or another to make the most effective 53-man roster.

Which guys played their way up? Who started camp strong but faded once the preseason fired up? Who is still playing for status in the final preseason game against the Steelers?

All that, some recent injury updates and transactions, and a whole lot more.

These 10 players could see their time with the #Chiefs come to an abrupt end next week when Kansas City cuts down its roster to 53-players.

The Kansas City Chiefs have just one preseason game left on their exhibition schedule in August, and several players will have to put together outstanding performances against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday to earn a spot on the team’s 53-man roster.

Check out these 10 players who are currently on the outside looking in ahead of Kansas City’s final preseason tilt:
