Ahead of training camp, the Detroit Lions will have to make a decision regarding how camp will operate early on.

According to a memo obtained by Sports Illustrated, NFL teams can either reduce the roster from 90 to 80 on or before Tuesday or they can decide to split their team into two groups.

The decision to split the roster would separate rookies and first-year players from veteran players.

Signs are pointing to Detroit splitting their roster, but the organization has until Tuesday to make their final decision.
