Lions Made Five Roster Moves

The Detroit Lions announced they have made five roster moves, including waiving OL Matt Farniok. 

Detroit also placed four players on the non-football injury list, including: 

1. CB Carlton Davis
2. WR Donovan Peoples-Jones
3. CB Amik Robertson
4. WR Tre’Quan Smith

Davis, 27, was selected with the No. 63 overall pick in the second round out of Auburn by the Buccaneers in 2018. He finished the final year of a four-year, $4,393,114 contract that included a $1,274,992 signing bonus.

From there, Davis appeared to a three-year, $45 million contract with the Buccaneers in 2022. 

The Lions traded their 2024 third-round pick to the Buccaneers in exchange for Davis, and two sixth-round picks.

In 2023, Davis appeared in 14 games for the Buccaneers and recorded 52 tackles two interceptions, and nine pass defenses.
