NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero is reporting that the Detroit Lions are waiving wide receiver Chris Lacy as the 2020 roster cuts begin.
Lacy has been with the Lions for the past two seasons splitting time between the active roster and practice squad. He was released in early August, and after a week in free agency, he was re-signed to as roster depth during training camp.
The Lions have six wide receivers — Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones Jr., Danny Amendola, Quintez Cephus, Jamal Agnew, and Marvin Hall — who have had terrific camps, while Tom Kennedy and Victor Boldin made a strong case for the practice, putting Lacy on the outside looking in.
Pelissero is reporting that Lacy is a candidate for the practice squad, but he has a tough road as several players who were repping ahead of him in training camp.
Lacy was not part of Lions Wire’s 53-man projection, either on the active roster or as a practice squad candidate.
