The Detroit Lions waived five players and traded one Sunday as they shed their roster down to 80 in order to have full team practices in the upcoming week. For the most part, the players who did not make it to the 80-man team were guys with little chance to make the roster anyways. Camp bodies who needed a miracle to see Week 1. Two of the moves seemed to really stand out, though.
A pair of wide receivers, Chris Lacy and Travis Fulgham, were among those waived by the team. Both are players were featured on the initial 2019 53-man roster, and both had a real chance to compete for a roster spot once Geronimo Allison opted out of the 2020 season.
