The recently released players are as followsโ€ฆ

  • WR Demario Ballard
  • RB Mike Bell
  • TE Richard Dickson (waived/injured)
  • LB DeJuan Fulghum
  • WR Marcus Harris
  • DB Michael Johnson
  • K Dave Rayner
  • DT Montavious Stanley

The biggest names on this list are recently picked up RB Mike Bell and kicker Dave Rayner. Mike Bell was in a battle for one of the RB spots with Jerome Harrison and Aaron Brown. Kicker Dave Rayner was signed last year to fill in for the injured Jason Hanson. But donโ€™t count Rayner out as we may see him again before seasonโ€™s end.  The Lions roster will be at 82 after these players have been officially released. All teams must be down to 80 man rosters by 4:00pm E.T. tomorrow.
