Wednesday open thread: Which Lions roster cut was the biggest surprise?

The DLions trimmed some notable names over the course of Monday and Tuesday to get under the 53-man roster limit by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Such is the nature of roster cutdown season, especially so in a year that features a new regime. This year’s Detroit Lions is going to look very different from that of 2020.

Question of the day: Which Lions roster cut was the biggest surprise?

My answer: Mike Ford.

Ford was someone who wasn’t a roster lock, but after playing most of the third preseason game and having a fairly strong performance, his departure did come as a surprise.
