The Detroit Lions’ secondary suddenly took another hit — veteran cornerback Kendall Fuller has been released from their practice squad just two weeks after signing.
Fuller, a nine-season NFL pro with over 100 career starts under his belt, joined Detroit amid a cornerback injury crisis. With key players like Avonte Maddox, Terrion Arnold and D.J. Reed sidelined, the Lions needed depth, and Fuller seemed a logical pick.
Yet, despite the need, Fuller never suited up for a game and was let go quietly. The move raises questions:
Why didn’t Fuller get a chance on game day when so many corners were hurt?
Does Detroit believe internal options are now sufficient, or are they chasing a different kind of depth?
How well prepared is the depth behind the starters for the upcoming stretch of games?
Coach Dan Campbell has mentioned improvements and full-team execution as current focuses, but this roster move suggests the Lions’ defensive back situation remains unsettled. With a tough schedule ahead, Detroit will need all its corners healthy and ready — and clearly, the search for reliability in this group is ongoing.
