Saturday open thread: If Trufant and Roberts are healthy, who are the Lions starting cornerbacks?

The Detroit Lions are working their way back to having a healthy secondary, but with only so many chairs to sit in when the music stops, the coaching staff has some decisions to make.

Veteran cornerback Desmond Trufant is back to practice, albeit in a limited capacity as he rehabs a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 1’s matchup against the Chicago Bears. Also, nickel cornerback Darryl Roberts—whose play has been unexpectedly solid in place of the injured Justin Coleman—is limited with a hip injury. But let’s live in a world where both Trufant and Roberts are healthy enough to get out on the field.
