News: The Lions continued trimming their roster Friday in preparation for the regular season and released the following players: defensive backs Alphonso Smith and Ross Weaver; defensive linemen Edmon McClam, Tracy Robertson and Ugo Chinasa; tight ends Alex Gottlieb and Austin Wells; wide receivers Wallace Miles and Nate Hughes; and linebacker Carmen Messina.
Analysis: Some of these players were able to make an early impression in training camp and survive the first round of cuts. However, neither of them were ultimately expected to make a Fantasy impact this season and should be left on waivers at this point.
