Ukwu released to make room for Beathard on Lions PS

With a full roster, it was only a matter of the "Who?" that was going to be leaving the Lions once C.J. Beathard officially signed to the Lions Practice Squad. Teh question was answered a bit ago with an official announcement from the Lions that DE Isaac Ukwu was the odd man out with Beathard joining the team.

Considering the Lions lack of depth at Edge with pure edge guys, the Ukwu cut is a bit of a surprise, as that leaves just the recently signed Andre Carter II as the lone Practice Squad Edge to compliment Davenport, hutch and Muhhamed. Pascal is out until at least Week 5 on the PUP, but several guys are versatile enough can play Edge (Lacy, Wheat, Wingo and Cooper) as the scheme dictates.
