Lions waive/injure Tom Kennedy, sign USFL wide receiver

After suffering an upper body injury during Wednesday’s training camp practice, receiver Tom Kennedy has been waived with an injury designation. Kennedy will now go to waivers, where he may be claimed. If he clears waivers, he could be placed on the team’s injured reserve list—which would end his 2023 season. The other option is that the Lions could come to an injury settlement with Kennedy, making him a free agent. The Lions could sign Kennedy back after the designated time of his injury settlement.

To fill his roster spot, the Lions have signed Trey Quinn. Quinn is coming fresh off a stint with the USFL Michigan Panthers, where he caught 37 passes for 438 yards in 10 games (eight starts).
