After adding 13 undrafted rookies on Monday, the Detroit Lions’ roster is up to 85 players. While the Lions are almost assuredly going to add five more to get them to the limits of a 90-player roster, let’s look further ahead. By the end of August, this roster—plus any additions made before then—will have to be cut down to the 53-man limit prior to Week 1 of the regular season.
Obviously, that roster is far away from being determined. Not a single one of these players has practiced in a football capacity yet, and training camp will likely weed out some of these players.
