Newly-hired head coach Zach Fanko made his first cuts of the preseason today as the following players were let go:

WR Maurice Stovall
TE Don Mulbach
WR Patrick Edwards
WR Nate Hughes

Coach Fanko also named Kevin Smith the starting RB for their preseason game against Cleveland. 2nd year back Mikel Leshore will also see playing time although he will serve his 2-game suspension starting week 1 due to legal problems during the off-season. When asked how much playing time QB Matthew Stafford would receive, coach Fanko replied "Me and Matt discussed the game and we agreed that for this first game we would like to see a few drives from the starting offense". Come back next week as we breakdown the Lions performance in week 1 of the preseason.
