Follett let go by Lions: The Lions confirmed the release of third-year linebacker Zack Follett on Wednesday. “I just wanted to confirm the release of Zack Follett last night and thank him," said team president Tom Lewand. "(It's) a credit to him that he worked as hard as he did during the offseason to be at a point where he could return to football. We made a decision that I think was in our best interest and I think probably in his best interest." (Updated 08/03/2011)

Fantasy Analysis
Follett, who was battling back from a neck injury, was "waived healthy," according to Lewand. He added that the signings of Justin Durant and Stephen Tulloch made the move necessary. Follett, who was sidelined during his second season in the NFL, registered at least four tackles in four of his six games last year. He finished with 21 tackles after posting 10 stops during his rookie season in 2009. He will not be worthy of drafting in most IDP formats this fall. (Updated 08/03/2011).
