Bob Quinn said it is open for Graham Glasgow at guard or center. Depends on what the rest of the roster looks like. Also said, again, that TE Eric Ebron is on the roster.

Matt Patricia said needs are "always kind of changing" when it comes to the roster. Did say guys need to be versatile and able to do many things.

Lions LB/DE Brandon Copeland is fully cleared for football activities, a source told ESPN on Wednesday. Copeland tore his pec in the preseason opener in Indianapolis last year, ending his season. Copeland is a restricted free agent this year and has also has special teams value.

Did you all know that Darius Slay is a good cornerback? You did? Oh, me too. Here?s some more proof that we?re all smart.
In creating Darius Slay's route breakdown page, I noticed he was within an arm's length of his assignment on all 24 press-man snaps and 18 of 21 off-man snaps against Go routes. Whopping 93% success rate.
