Lions send crystal clear message about final roster by waiving Ian Kennelly

The Detroit Lions have waived Ian Kennelly ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline per NFL reporter Aaron Wilson. Kennelly, who had steadily seen his stock rise this preseason and in training camp, is being given an opportunity to land elsewhere by hitting the waiver wire. But, he'd also make for a great addition to Detroit's practice squad.

This is the first move of a few that have begun to signal exactly what the Lions' philosophy is this season - the team is not keeping on anyone who cannot immediately contribute on the field at a high level.
