Allen Park — Before Sunday's preseason finale, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell acknowledged that up to 10 roster spots were up for grabs. And although some battles, such as the backup quarterback competition, left more questions than answers, we were able to get a better understanding of the team's pending roster construction based on nuances, such as the special teams rotations.
With teams needing to file 53-man rosters ahead of Tuesday's 4 p.m. deadline, here's our best estimation of how Detroit's decisions will shake out.
Quarterback (2)
In: Jared Goff, David Blough
Out: Tim Boyle
Thoughts: Throughout the offseason, it always felt like Boyle had the slight edge to win the backup job, even when Blough was putting together more consistent practice performances.
