Lions keep six receivers, including Brandon Powell

The Detroit Lions parted ways with 30 players between Friday and Saturday while trading Corey Robinson, placing Zach Zenner on injured reserve and Andy Jones on PUP. Here's a look at their moves:

Most significant move: The Lions signed DeShawn Shead in March with the thinking he could end up being their starting cornerback opposite Darius Slay. At cut-down day, though, the Lions released Shead despite guaranteeing him $1.5 million for the 2018 season. Shead began camp as a starter but a combination of struggling on the field and a strained quad left him as more of a depth corner.
