Lions 2021 NFL Roster Tracker: Breshad Perriman Waived

The first of the roster cuts has been announced.
On Monday morning, ESPN reported that the Detroit Lions released wide receiver Breshad Perriman.
Given an increased opportunity on Friday, in the preseason finale against the Indianapolis Colts, Perriman had two unfortunate drops that likely sealed his fate in Motown.
Perriman's release will cost $2 million in dead-cap space, and is the first major signing of Detroit general manager Brad Holmes' tenure that turned sour.
First of many cuts this week is a notable one: Lions have released WR Breshad Perriman, per source.
