The Detroit Lions announced the release of six players Sunday morning, getting the team's roster to the required 80-player limit ahead of next week's deadline.
The team waived wide receiver Travis Fulgham, guard Josh Garnett, defensive back Michael Jackson, wide receiver Chris Lacy, linebacker Christian Sam and defensive end Jonathan Wynn.
Fulgham, Jackson, Lacy and Wynn all appeared in at least one game for the Lions last season, with only Lacy playing more than 100 snaps. Fulgham, a sixth-round draft pick in 2019, spent much of his rookie season on the practice squad, while Jackson, a mid-season addition plucked off Dallas' practice squad, only appeared in one game.
