On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions waived five players in a move to create space for the incoming rookies—both the draft picks and the undrafted free agent class. On Wednesday, they added one more player to the list of cut players.
Quarterback Steven Montez was waived, the team announced via Twitter.
Montez went undrafted in 2020 after being a three-year starter at the University of Colorado. He spent his rookie season with the Washington Commanders, almost exclusively on the practice squad. When he was part of Washington’s cuts in 2021, the Lions swiped him up and signed him to their practice squad.
