The Detroit Lions added some impressive names to their 16-man practice squad after roster cutdowns. From surprising veteran cuts like DT Kyle Peko and TE James Mitchell to wide receiver imports Tim Patrick and Allen Robinson, the Lions have a lot of accomplished talent on the practice squad.

That led to the Lions earning the top spot in the CBS Sports practice squad power rankings. A staple feature of analyst Chris Trapasso the last few years, the practice squad power poll is a fun look at the players who aren’t on the active roster but are capable of being added with a weekly call-up at any time.
