The Detroit Lions will close out the preseason tonight, which is great news for everyone. It means the regular season is nearly upon us and we can put this whole exhibition season behind us.
But before we do that, it’s time for the Lions’ reserves to make their final case for the 53-man roster. Because less than 48 hours after the Lions and Browns finish tonight’s game, both teams will be 37 players lighter.
It’s a cruel reality of life in the NFL, but it’s one we’ve all agreed to by being fans.
