Dan Campbell will be looking for players with one trait in particular as he whittles the Detroit Lions roster down to 53 players in the coming weeks.
"It’s grit is No. 1," Campbell said Tuesday. "It’s always been from Day 1. It’s grit."
A month out from their Sept. 12 regular season opener against the San Francisco 49ers, the Lions appear to have most of their starting lineup set on both sides of the ball.
Campbell said Monday the majority of players on the two-deep roster will be evident in the coming weeks, and that only about the final three to five roster spots will be up for grabs by the time the Lions close the preseason Aug.
