The Lions used a couple of different methods to get their active roster to 53 players: Released: Waived: Waived/injured: Placed on IR (designated for return): Placed on reserve/PUP list: The Lions released a lot more vested veterans than we typically see at this time in the year, perhaps a sign of the young talent on

The Detroit Lions are looking to add another quarterback this week after Nate Sudfeld had such a bad Thursday and Hendon Hooker could miss this week’s game due to being in concussion protocol. “Brad (Holmes) and I talked about that this morning, that could come down the wire, you know, today or tomorrow.” Campbell said.
