The Detroit Lions open the regular season on Sept. 13 at home against Chicago, but before the Lions get there, they have to establish a 53-man roster. This is a look at what general manager Bob Quinn and head coach Matt Patricia might come up with. Note: This projection has 54 players, because safety Jayron Kearse is suspended for the first three games of the 2020 season.
Here is a 53-man roster projection:
QUARTERBACK (3): Matthew Stafford, Chase Daniel, David Blough
It is a tough question to keep three quarterbacks, but Blough had an impressive camp -- at times outperforming Daniel. Combine that with the tape that is available on Blough from last season and he's no lock to clear waivers. So in a year where having extra players at key positions could be more valuable than ever, Blough sticks behind Detroit's top two of Stafford and Daniel.
