Adrian Peterson is signing a 1-year contract with the Detroit Lions and there is plenty of excitement in the air from Lions fans (though some absolutely hate the signing, which confuses me).
But with Peterson joining the mix, you can bet one current RB who made the initial 53-man roster will be sent packing.

As we speak, the Lions RB room consists of Kerryon Johnson, D’Andre Swift, Ty Johnson, Bo Scarbrough, and (FB) Jason Cabinda.
Kerryon Johnson and Swift are safe, and in my opinion, if the Lions still plan to keep a FB, Cabinda is safe too. That leaves Ty Johnson and Scarbrough.
Ty Johnson is a speedy back who can catch passes and I believe he made the roster ahead of Jason Huntley, who was cut on Saturday.

When the Lions make a roster move to make room for Adrian Peterson, expect that Bo Scarbrough is on the outside looking in.
