The Lions have pared their roster down to an initial 53.
It’s important to note this is an initial 53-man roster because more moves could be on the horizon throughout the holiday weekend as players become available around the league.
The Lions can begin building their 10-man practice squad starting at 1 p.m. Sunday.
Here is the breakdown of the initial 53:
QUARTERBACK (2)
Making cut: Matthew Stafford, Jake Rudock
Missing cut: Brad Kaaya
Twentyman: Kaaya, a sixth-round draft pick this year, showed steady improvement throughout the preseason, and could be a practice squad candidate if he clears waivers.
