## Resource

Detroit Lions scramble to cap compliance before opener, waiving injured Seth McLaughlin and Jabari Small—likely to avoid injury settlements and bring them back on practice squad. With 51 players over the cap, restructuring existing contracts is inevitable. Watch for Joe Bachie, Mason Miller, or Nick Whiteside to step up as roster moves tighten ahead of kickoff.
