Lions sign two, including QB, release former Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook

Allen Park — If Connor Cook's professional football career is ever going to get on track, it's likely going to happen somewhere else other than Detroit.

The Lions released the former Michigan State star quarterback on Monday in a series of moves heading into the team's third and final week of OTAs.

The Lions released Cook and safety David Jones to make room for two new signings, quarterback David Fales and offensive lineman Luke Bowanko.

Fales, a sixth-round draft pick out of San Jose State in 2014, has spent time with three teams, most recently the Miami Dolphins.
