ALLEN PARK -- Jim Caldwell was adamant the fourth preseason game meant something.
And for the second straight year, he was right.
After keeping Kerry Hyder following a three-sack out burst in the finale last year, the Detroit Lions have decided to carry Tion Green as a fifth running back in 2017. The undrafted rookie was believed to be on the roster bubble heading into that game, and given Detroit's usual numbers at that position, was likely on the wrong side of it.
But then he exploded for 150 yards of total offense on Thursday night against the Bills, including turning a Brad Kaaya screen pass into a 74-yard touchdown.
