Daly claims long-snapper job as Lions cut vet McQuaide to add offensive line depth

Allen Park — The Detroit Lions brought in Bobby Hart, a veteran with Pro Bowl experience, this offseason to push returning long-snapper Scott Daly. They liked the results so much through two weeks of training camp that the team effectively awarded backup Daly the job on Monday, releasing challenger Jake McQuaid, freeing up a roster spot to add Hart, an offensive lineman.

Hart provides Detroit with a wealth of experience at multiple positions. An eight-year veteran, he's appeared in 98 games, including 67 starts. Last season, he saw just 125 snaps as a reserve in Buffalo, splitting time between left guard and left tackle.
