On roster: Eric Ebron, Darren Fells, Michael Roberts, Cole Wick, Khari Lee, Brandon Barnes, Robert Tonyan
Key losses: Brandon Pettigrew, Tim Wright
Making cut: Ebron, Fells, Roberts
On bubble: Wick, Lee, Barnes, Tonyan
Best competition: Is the top three all but set, or can a surprise name emerge?
The Lions kept four tight ends on the initial 53-man roster out of training camp last year, so there’s a chance one of the four players on the bubble remains on the roster out of camp.
