Bridgewater, roster bubble players impress in Lions' 26-17 win over Panthers in preseason finale

The Detroit Lions entered the final preseason game looking to get some clarity on a handful of roster spots still up for grabs, but in many ways, the team's decisions only got tougher in the 26-17 victory over the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium Saturday night in Charlotte, N.C.

Contenders for potential openings at both wide receiver and cornerback delivered playmaking moments in the game, bolstering resumes prior to Tuesday's deadline for teams to trim their roster to 53 players.

At receiver, undrafted rookie Dylan Drummond put a bow on an impressive offseason, pacing the team with five receptions for 46 yards, all in the first half.
