At the time of writing, the Detroit Lions have trimmed their roster down to 78 players and still have a long way to go to get down to the 53-man limit by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Some of the moves were expected, while others may have come as a slight surprise.
Those in the national media that were unfamiliar with how the Lions’ receiver room was shaking out were quite surprised when the Lions named Donovan Peoples-Jones as one of their first cuts. But it came as no surprise to Lions fans that have been paying attention to training camp reports and preseason football.
