Today marked the last day of training camp for the Detroit Lions.
The team has released WR Eric Fowler and K Swayze Waters.
In other transactions the team acquired DL Orion Martin via waivers and signed Kicker Billy Cundiff.
Coach Schwartz spoke to the media today about the Kicker situation and had this to say, “There’s a pretty good chance. It looks like Swayze [Waters] won’t be able to go and we’ve given Dane [Looker] a lot of stuff but that’s asking a little much for a position player to have to do double duty like that. We’ll see what happens after this and make a decision.”
Schwartz also spoke to TE Brandon Pettigrew’s status.“I think that’s still up in the air a little bit, but it’s looking a little bit more optimistic when you can come out to practice like this – that was physical with good contact and also full speed and you can make it through".
Schwartz continues, "What we’ve done is stuck with the plan of what we talked about all along. Give him a little bit of individual, give him a little bit of this, and a little bit more, a little bit more and he’s close to being released into the general population and being able to go where you don’t even worry about how we’re managing him during practice.”
