Derrick Deese: Gets cut loose

Deese was waived by the Lions on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Deese spent time on Detroit's practice squad last season and signed a reserve/future deal with the team in January. However, the Lions have decided to go in a different direction, signing two other tight ends Wednesday, Darrell Daniels and Daniel Helm. Deese will now work to earn a new opportunity elsewhere.
