Detroit Lions Announce 2021 53-Man Roster
After meeting with general manager Brad Holmes over the weekend, head coach Dan Campbell has his initial group of NFL players to work with heading into the 2021 season.
“I thought it was outstanding, really because we really did the deep dive for the most part on Saturday," Campbell told reporter Monday."
Campbell commented further, "Then yesterday (Sunday) was about, ‘Let’s look at these guys on other teams, potential releases on other teams, guys that may be a fit, what do we think, rank them to who’s here.’ All of those things, but that day, Saturday, it was really good because I felt like it was an honest, open discussion about how we both felt about this roster. I would say we probably agreed on 98% of it. But that little two percent that we didn’t was honest and open and to the point and it was easy."
The Lions will also establish their 16-man practice squad by Wednesday afternoon at 4 p.m.
