Filed under: A live-updating post on the latest Detroit Lions roster cuts, news, and notes, as they trim to 53 players by Tuesday’s deadline.
From now until 4 p.m.
ET on Tuesday, NFL general managers will agonize over their roster.
With most rosters currently at 80 players, all NFL teams must trim that to 53 by Tuesday’s deadline.
Not only are these choices extremely hard to make, but the emotional toll can be devastating for the coaches, administrators and, of course, the players themselves.
For the Detroit Lions , it feels like coach Dan Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes have much tougher decisions ahead of them than in Year 1 of the regime.
The Lions are going to have to cut some talented players who will likely find a home elsewhere.
Detroit will also likely scour the waiver wire on their own, too, adding a player or two who didn’t spend a second in Lions training camp.
It’s the cruel reality of the NFL, but a necessary step to get us to the regular season.
Last year, the Lions split their cuts between Monday and Tuesday, and there’s no reason to believe they’ll change that this year.
So our 2022 roster cuts tracker has been posted bright and early to give you the latest transactions for the Lions while giving you an overview of where the roster currently stands.
