It’s time to take one final look at the players on the Detroit Lions’ roster bubble. As we near the 53-man roster cuts deadline at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, our staff took all of the information over the past month to make some roster predictions. That includes training camp performance, preseason performance, and what the staff is saying about each of the players.
Without further ado, here are our roster predictions for the players on the bubble on offense. Defense will come later in the day.

Not only did Sudfeld rest during the preseason finale, he also got a pretty significant endorsement from coach Dan Campbell earlier in the week.
