With 11 reported UDFA signings reportedly agreed to, the Detroit Lions roster was on the verge of hitting 91—one over the maximum limit this time of year. The team rectified that on Tuesday afternoon, announcing that Lions wide receiver Antoine Green has been waived.
Green was selected in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, Green’s career in Detroit was largely defined by injury. Though he played nine games in his rookie season, it was predominantly on special teams. He only caught one pass for 2 yards. Last year, Green was contending for a starting job at the WR-X position, but he suffered a neck injury/concussion during one of Detroit’s preseason games.
