On Saturday night, the Detroit Lions came out sleepwalking in the first half against the Pittsburgh Steelers and despite a nice comeback in the second half, they came up short of winning the game.
Following the game, Lions head coach Dan Campbell spoke to reporters and he hinted at some surprise cuts that could be made as he trims the roster down to 53.
“Here is the positive of this whole thing was, man, you guys just asked and you brought up some names. There’s some guys who are growing and getting better, young guys,” Campbell said. “And there’s some guys that maybe were counted out that have a chance of now making this team. And then there’s some ones that maybe everybody thought was going to make it and they’re not going to make it. So there’s a lot of that, man. I think it showed itself very clear today in a lot of different positions and players. And that’s why you do all this.”
