The Lions closed the preseason with an ugly 35-17 loss to the Browns. Does it matter? Justin Rogers and John Niyo of The Detroit News discuss.
Allen Park -- The Detroit Lions began the task of trimming the roster to 53 on Friday, releasing 11 players.
None of the moves could be considered surprising. The group included two wide receivers, two veteran cornerbacks, and four defensive linemen.
Wide receivers Brian Brown and Teo Redding, tight end Marcus Lucas, offensive linemen Jamar McGloster and John Montelus, cornerbacks Sterling Moore and Dexter McDougle, linebacker Chad Meredith, defensive tackles Josh Fatu and Christian Ringo and defensive ends Jeremiah Valoaga and Cam Johnson were all let go.
