Detroit Lions claim two players off waivers

On Saturday, the Detroit Lions made the necessary moves to trim their roster down to 53. But as we all know, the 53-man roster is a fluid thing and is likely to look a bit different before the Lions Week 1 matchup against the New York Jets.

According to reports, the Lions have claimed offensive tackle Andrew Donnal (formerly of the Ravens) and defensive back Dee Virgin (formerly of the Texans)

Donnal, who was originally a fourth-round pick in 2015, played his first two seasons with the Rams. During his three-year career, he has played in 27 games but only played in six games last season with the Ravens.

Virgin signed with Houston Texans as an undrafted rookie free agent prior to the 2017 season but spent most of the campaign on the practice squad.

Saturday was a very difficult day for hundreds of players around the National Football League as teams were required to cut their roster to 53 by 4 p.m. This included the Detroit Lions, who trimmed their roster by 22 in order to get down to 53.
