The Detroit Lions have until 4 p.m. on Tuesday to trim their roster down to 53 and it sounds like they are going to take their time.
According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, the Lions will not be trimming their roster down to 53 on Monday.
Birkett notes that the Lions do not have a lot of players who will draw interest on waivers but there is no reason to release practice squad players too early.
Lions will NOT be getting to 53 players today. They don’t have many guys who will draw interest on waivers but no reason to release PS guys now
