2021 Roster Tracker: Lions Waive CB Mike Ford
The latest Detroit Lions roster cut has been announced.
Cornerback Mike Ford took to his Instagram page on Monday morning to personally thank Detroit for his time in Motown.
In one of the early surprise roster moves, Ford was released from a secondary looking to rebound, following a poor showing in 2020.
Ford had excelled on special teams, but is now among the early roster cuts in 2021.
The third-year defensive back earned his role with the team as an undrafted rookie in 2018.
Since then, he had been a valuable special teams player, and he was thought to have been excelling in training camp.
The emergence of cornerback A.J. Parker may have made Ford more expendable, as the Lions continue to retool their secondary.
Here is the updated Lions roster.
