Two preseason dates set

The Lions have not announced the dates of their preseason games yet, but their two road games are officially set.

According to the web sites of their opponents, the Lions will visit Cincinnati in Week 2 of the preseason at 7:35 p.m. Aug. 17. In Week 4, they close exhibition play Aug. 28 at 6:30 p.m. against Buffalo. Previously, those games were set for sometime Aug. 14-18 and Aug. 28 or 29. The Lions also host the Colts in their preseason opener (Aug. 7-11) and host Cleveland in the all-important Week 3 game (Aug. 21-25).

The NFL is expected to release the regular-season schedule this week, perhaps as early as Monday, and the Lions will reveal the rest of their exhibition slate at that time. In the regular season, they play:
