Detroit Lions Release Four Players Following 2020 Draft
Lions announced release of four players
The Detroit Lions announced Monday they have released running back Tra Carson, long-snapper James Fisher, guard Casey Tucker and punter Matt Wile.
On Monday, the Lions will begin their virtual offseason program. For veterans, the Lions are going to use two hours every day during phase one to do online classroom work.
The training sessions will be voluntary -- four days a week, and veterans will work out on their own at their various locations.
Following the completion of the draft, Detroit added seven undrafted free agents.
The current Lions roster is set at 90-players.
