Lions Bring Back 5 Waived Players | NFL News

All cleared waivers unclaimed by other teams, giving Detroit full control to bring them back — a clear sign of confidence in their depth. These cuts were tough, especially given the competition at each position, but now they’re back for development. With 11 spots still open, GM Brad Holmes has a solid foundation to build on — and this move signals strong roster planning for the future.
