The Detroit Lions must establish their 53-man roster ahead of the start of the 2022 season by the 4 p.m. deadline this upcoming Tuesday.
Despite being confident in what veteran Jared Goff can accomplish this season, the backup quarterback situation is in complete disarray.
Following the Lions’ 19-9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium, head coach Dan Campbell did not want to provide a significant amount of detail regarding his feelings about the backup quarterbacks currently on Detroit’s roster.
Both Tim Boyle and David Blough struggled mightily to cement their spot on the roster.
“Here’s what I would say, I think it became very clear. I think we got things answered and I’d leave it at that,” said Campbell, via the team’s YouTube page.
The defense had a much better showing in the preseason finale, as Campbell noted postgame cornerback Jeff Okudah had done enough to earn a spot starting opposite of Amani Oruwariye.
In the coming two days, Campbell and general manager Brad Holmes will have several tough decisions to make regarding who gets cut and who makes the team’s initial 53-man roster.
Following along at All Lions for all roster news, rumors and cuts made over the next three days.
