On Monday, the Detroit Lions made their first round of cuts to get down to 72 players. While the team did not make any of these moves officials, the following cuts were leaked to the media in the past 24 hours: QB Tim Boyle, WR Kalil Pimpleton, WR Tom Kennedy, TE Devin Funchess, OT Kendall Lamm, LB Jarrad Davis, CB Saivion Smith, CB Mark Gilbert.
While none of these cuts are particularly surprising, they did answer some of the big questions we had going into roster cuts. For one, the waiving of Tim Boyle answers whether the Lions would stay complacent at backup quarterback or not.
