Tom Kennedy: Let loose by Lions

Detroit released Kennedy on Tuesday.

Kennedy has bounced between Detroit's practice squad and active roster since coming into the league in 2019, but he didn't get into any regular-season games last season after playing in 19 contests across 2021 and 2022. Though the Lions' wideout corps is currently thin, the 28-year-old wasn't able to land a spot on the 53-man roster after catching six of nine targets for 44 yards during preseason play.
