Lions Release DT Tufele and put two on NFI lists

A day after brining the roster back up to the offseason maximum of 91, the Lions made another move today and cut veteran DT Jay Tufele. In addition, they placed S Chritian Izien on the Active/Non-Football Illness and OL Christian Mahogany on the Active Non-Football Injury lists.

Lions make moves prior to camp

Tufele was actually projected by our team to take the last DT (NT) spot in our camp preview, but the Lions apparently are going in a different direction.

As far as Izien and Mahogany go, being placed on the NFI list isn't necessarily a big geal, but it is at a minimum a precautionary step to allow the team to bring the player back sooner than later, bit in camp and if the issue lingers into the regular season.
