Lions' 53-man roster projection includes six wide receivers

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions have to cut down the roster to 53 players by 4 p.m. Saturday. Here's how it could look:

The Lions still have a question here as Savage was at practice Monday for the first time since being placed in concussion protocol after a hit against New England in the preseason opener. With Savage out, the Lions turned to David Fales and Josh Johnson – both of whom had flashes of being able to handle the job.
