Detroit Lions cut OT Tyrell Crosby, will scout waiver wire for help on offensive line

Tyrell Crosby went from the trading block to the chopping block in a matter of months.

The Detroit Lions waived-injured Crosby on Monday in a stunning move that comes months after they made their presumptive swing offensive tackle available via trade.

Crosby started 11 games at right tackle for the Lions last season and was projected to be the team's sixth lineman this fall. He missed extensive time in training camp with a Grade 1 hamstring injury and struggled in his only action of the preseason last week, allowing a sack on the game's opening series.
