First Day of Detroit Lions OTA Review

The Detroit Lions opened OTAs on Thursday in Allen Park, the first organized team activities featuring the full 2016 roster. Or rather, the roster as it stands now. Already there are a few developments worth noting…

Tim Wright is now an ex-Lion. Again.

Lions waived TE Tim Wright with an injury designation, per the NFL transaction wire.

What’s notable here is that he was waived with injury designation. That opens the door for an injury settlement for the tight end, who caught 9 passes for 77 yards in his nine games in Detroit.
