After Kendrick Law suffered an ACL tear in OTA, the Detroit Lions quickly replaced him with undrafted free agent signing wide receiver Kyre Duplessis as a potential replacement for the speedy Law. Unfortunately for the 5-foot-11, 190-pound receiver, the Lions waived the former Delaware product on Wednesday afternoon in their latest set of roster moves.
Duplessis caught 60 passes for 824 yards and five touchdowns last season with the Blue Hens, in addition to 23 receptions for 348 yards and a touchdown in his three seasons at Coastal Carolina prior to his stop in Delaware.
While it is unknown why Duplessis did not fit with the Lions or whether the move is a corresponding decision to other roster moves, the move now opens one roster spot for Detroit, as they currently have 90 rostered players.
