Summary

Today was NFL roster cutdown day and the Lions were very busy. The roster though is at 50. As Detroit, as of recording, has three open spots. We discuss how Dan Skipper could be back and maybe Za Darius Smith time is upon us. Lions are carrying just 3 healthy EDGE players right now. We also dive in to some of the surprises as well as the no-brainers. And what needs do the Lions have to fill these last couple of spots? Plus, we play some silly audio of a fill-in National host dogging the Lions.
