The roster cutdowns were just Phase 1 of roster building before the Detroit Lions’ season opener against the Arizona Cardinals.
Phase 2 begins on Sunday, as the Lions scour the waiver wire for potential players to add, then fill out their practice squad for the regular season. We’ll get to learn the fate of some of the players the Lions cut over the past two days: will any return? Will any find a spot on the 53-man roster of an opposing team?
Of course, the main attraction will be whether the Lions decide to add any additional talent to their 53-man roster.
