Our thoughts on the Detroit Lions' initial 50-man roster (yes, 50)

Ben Raven and Kory Woods discuss the box-score stuffed day and what they like about these Lions moving forward. Next up is a tough prime-time road matchup against the Ravens, with the Lions likely needing another lethal day from the offense in Week 3.  Learn more about your ad choices.
