The Detroit Lions’ 53-man roster has been established, but Bob Quinn is likely not done making changes to the roster. There were some surprise cuts all around the league and some of our own, as well.
Many believed that Tom Savage had locked down the backup gig behind Matthew Stafford, but Josh Johnson must have really impressed the coaches during his final preseason game performance. Dee Virgin defied all odds and made the final roster in back-to-back years (he was technically claimed by the Lions after cut down day), showing how important it is to have special teams value.
