Detroit Lions training camp Day 20 observations: Special teams offer hints at roster cuts

For all intents and purposes, Friday was the last day of Detroit Lions training camp. On Saturday, the team will travel to Pittsburgh. On Sunday, they’ll face off against the Steelers for their final preseason game. Less than 48 hours after the game ends, the team will cut their roster from 80 players all the way down to 53.

Though the Lions have taken intensity way down over the last two practices—essentially running walkthroughs on Thursday and Friday—there are still notable takeaways from those days. It’s not so much what specific tasks each player is doing, but where they are repping and in what depth chart unit order.
