The Detroit Lions must cut their roster to 75 by 4 p.m. ET Tuesday and to 53 by 4 p.m. ET Saturday. Here's a final 53-man roster projection:
The questions here are if the Lions are going to keep two or three -- and if they keep two, if it is the rookie developmental player in Rudock or the experienced backup in Orlovsky as the backup. The hope for the Lions is if they keep two, they can either get Rudock through waivers to the practice squad or that Orlovsky would be around later on in the year if necessary.
