Kyle Sloter: Let go by Detroit

The Lions waived Sloter on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Sloter was thrust into a backup role for the Lions after Matthew Stafford (back) went down during the regular season behind replacement Jeff Driskel and eventually David Blough. The Lions elected to sign backup Chase Daniel to fill the role behind Stafford, leaving no room for Sloter in the quarterback room. The 26-year-old yet to suit up in an NFL regular-season game in his career.
