Detroit Lions 53 man roster analysis


Best Move:

Cutting Kris Durham and keeping Corey Fuller.

Fuller celebrates on his his two TDs in the preseason
No way Fuller was going to clear waivers. He now has a chance to develop and play role during the season.
Durham was awful.

Who is next to get cut:

The safety position has 5. Couplin might be the next guy if the Lions pick up another CB.

UDFA rookie Jerome Couplin
needs survive the waiver wire pickups.


Who might be brought back:

When Van Noy is placed on the IR. Look for Darryl Tapp to be brought back. He can play special teams and Sam LB.

Tapp should be back


Biggest surprise:

Keeping only 8 OL. Cutting Rodney Austin probably was the right call. He could be back on the practice squad. Garrett Reynolds will be available later in the season. Look for 3 olineman on the practice squad.

Times up for Rodney?
