Lions establish 53-man roster: Go light on offensive line, Fox wins punting job

The Detroit Lions established the team's 53-man roster on Saturday. Here's how things shook out heading into the regular season, as well as some of our thoughts.

QUARTERBACK (2)

u25ba In: Matthew Stafford, Chase Daniel

u25ba Out: David Blough

u25ba Analysis: It's at least a little surprising the Lions are willing to risk losing Blough on waivers. The second-year quarterback had shown significant improvement in his first full camp with the franchise and has the makings of a reliable, long-term backup in this league.

Sure, he could clear waivers and land back in Detroit on the practice squad, but an early opponent looking for some extra intel on Detroit's offense could always throw in a waiver claim.
