The Detroit Lions will close out their preseason with a contest against the Carolina Panthers on Friday night. While most of their evaluation of the roster has likely been done, this will afford the players one last opportunity to make a positive impression before the team starts trimming down the roster to 53 players in time for Tuesday’s deadline.
Lions coach Dan Campbell seemed to suggest that starters will rest for the final preseason game, which means the depth on this roster should have more than enough opportunities to make plays and show their worth.
