Lions make difficult decision to part with Don Muhlbach

Allen Park — On his 40th birthday, after 17 seasons and 260 games — the second-most in franchise history — the Detroit Lions are parting ways with long snapper Don Muhlbach.

"We are going to let Don Muhlbach go, it will be official tomorrow," Lions coach Dan Campbell said shortly after taking the podium for his daily training camp press conference on Tuesday. "Look, I got the utmost respect for Don. I played with Don. … He's a pro, he's an even better person, and he's meant a lot to this organization.

"He's always represented it well, and he's an outstanding teammate.
