Lions waived or released DL Andre Fluellen and Everette Brown, G Rodney Austin, C Dan Gerberry, S Reshard Langford, CB Justin Miller, WRs Lance Long, Patrick Edwards and Maurice Stovall.
Fluellen has served as depth in Motown for the past four seasons, appearing in 51 games since 2008. He drew interest from the Rams and Bengals in free agency. Stovall will try to latch on elsewhere as a special teamer.
