When veteran receiver Andre Roberts got out of bed Monday morning, he was competing with five other players in Detroit for roster spots at receiver behind Marvin Jones, Golden Tate and Anquan Boldin.
By practice time that afternoon, his chance of earning one of those spots improved with the team trading Jeremy Kerley to San Francisco and then waiving rookie Quinshad Davis.
But as a six-year veteran, and one who is in his third stop in the league, Roberts knows he has to avoid getting caught up in things out of his control, and simply treat the next two weeks like business as usual.
