The roster cutdown deadline at 4 p.m. on Tuesday was not the end of the roster movement. Teams make waiver claims or sign veterans to provide potential upgrades, and that means that some players who expected to stick on the 53-man roster get let go.
That has happened quickly in Detroit, where the morning kicks off with a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the Lions are releasing backup QB David Blough. The Lions parted with QB Tim Boyle on Tuesday as part of the roster cutdowns.
Dumping Blough means the Lions will be adding another quarterback, either a veteran or off a waiver claim.
Schefter notes the Lions desire to bring Blough back to the practice squad.
