It has only been four days since we last looked at the Detroit Lions roster on position-by-position basis. Since then a number of changes have been made to it, and chances are these small changes here or there will continue throughout training camp.
To make sure everybody is on the same page and is aware of who is and isn't on the roster, I figured it wouldn't be a bad time to go through it again. After the jump you can find the current 90-man roster (as of Thursday morning), as well as an update on the Lions' free agents.
Note No. 1: Names in italics are new to the roster and weren't included in the previous update.
Note No. 2: Chris Houston and Bobby Carpenter have not been officially added to the roster yet. They were expected to sign their contracts on Wednesday, but the Lions haven't officially announced the signings. For now, they are not on the 90-man list below.
