The players on the Detroit Lions’ roster bubble made their final cases to the coaching staff on why they deserve to be on the team’s 53-man roster. For some, they may have just won themselves a job. For others, it won’t be enough.
For one last time, we gathered the Pride of Detroit staff together to give their final predictions on the players currently sitting on the roster bubble. Who’s in? Who’s out? Who’s trending in the right and wrong directions?
Let’s take a look:
