Detroit Lions Release CB Quinton Dunbar, Sign RB Craig Reynolds

The Detroit Lions have parted ways with veteran cornerback Quinton Dunbar. The Lions announced he was waived, just ahead of their first preseason game.

Dunbar, 29, has been noticeably absent since the early part of training camp. Lions head coach Dan Campbell repeatedly told reporters that he was away from the team dealing with "personal" matters.

As an undrafted free agent in 2015, he was converted into a cornerback during his first training camp with Washington, after playing receiver at the University of Florida.

He led Washington with four interceptions in 2019.

Injuries have hampered his career the past couple of seasons, as he only played in six games in 2020 with the Seahawks due to a Week 9 knee injury.

The addition of Nickell Robey-Coleman made the decision to move on from Dunbar easier for new Lions general manager Brad Holmes.

With a plethora of injuries to the running backs room, Detroit also announced the addition of free-agent running back Craig Reynolds.

The inexperienced back has had previous stops with the Washington Football Team, Atlanta Falcons and Jacksonville Jaguars.

In his brief career, he has recorded one carry for four yards and one reception for a total of three yards. He played five seasons of college football for the Kutztown Golden Bears, an NCAA Division II team in Kutztown, Pa.
