Detroit Lions release Darrell Daniels
In the most recent reshuffling toward the crucial 53-man roster, the Detroit Lions have parted ways with tight end Darrell Daniels, as sourced by NFL’s reporter, Aaron Wilson. This leaves the Lions’ tight ends room in the trusted hands of Sam LaPorta, Brock Wright, and James Mitchell.
Why it Matters
LaPorta, a promising second-round pick, has swiftly maneuvered to the zenith of the position, securing his role in the season opener against Kansas City. During the rigorous training camp sessions, he emerged as a reliable asset for quarterback Jared Goff. Mitchell, entering his second year, complements the rotation with his notable pass-catching finesse. Wright, on the other hand, stands tall with his experience. As the Lions finalize their roster adjustments, with Daniels’ exit, 15 more decisions loom ahead of the 4 p.m. deadline.
