This week Chris and Jeff get together to discuss the latest from the Detroit Lions preseason and Hard Knocks. The Detroit Lions just faced one of the most difficult days of the year for a front office that actually cares about its players. The Lions cut their roster down to the NFL mandated 53 players as well as assembled their practice squad of reserve players. Detroit Lions Podcast First Look At The 2022 Roster Across the league, over 850 players were notified that their dream of playing football in the NFL was likely over. Some will find a place on other teams, most will find that they’ve come to the end of their playing career. Its a difficult day for many, and for Lions fans, having seen many of their team’s players up close on Hard Knocks this year, its just that much more difficult. The Detroit Lions have selected the 53 players that will lead their team into battle this year, we’ll provide our first look and share our thoughts. We’ll also discuss this week’s episode of Hard Knocks, what to look for next from the Detroit Lions, and key things to watch between now and the Lions opening game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
