According to Justin Dunk of 3 Down Nation, the Detroit Lions are cutting defensive end Mathieu Betts. Betts was an intriguing free agency signing by the Lions, as he is coming off a huge year in the Canadian Football League. For the BC Lions, he produced 18 sacks in 18 games, earning himself the honors…
The Detroit Lions are looking to add another quarterback this week after Nate Sudfeld had such a bad Thursday and Hendon Hooker could miss this week’s game due to being in concussion protocol. “Brad (Holmes) and I talked about that this morning, that could come down the wire, you know, today or tomorrow.” Campbell said.

The Detroit Lions are releasing veteran quarterback Nate Sudfeld, according to Ian Rapoport.

He would make only three game appearances, but Detroit was hopeful he would develop into a contributor later in his career.
