The recently released players are as follows…

  • 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 don’t count Rayner out as we may see him again before season’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.
