The Detroit Lions have spent the last couple weeks making changes to the bottom of their roster. By that, I mean that they have released guys who were really nothing more than camp bodies and mainly replaced them with, well, guys who will likely end up being nothing more than camp bodies. It's all part of the process of getting things ready for training camp, which is just a couple months away.
For now, the Lions have 90 players on their roster after making several moves on Tuesday. It's a given that additional changes will be made in the coming weeks and months, but here's what the Lions' roster looks like as of Wednesday morning:
