Lions placed P Ryan Donahue (quadriceps) on injured reserve, ending his season.

Donahue suffered the injury three weeks ago while taking reps at kicker for a banged-up Jason Hanson. The Lions couldn’t afford to keep carrying three punters, so Donahue’s season is over after averaging 42.7 yards on 49 punts.

Lions released P Nick Harris.

The Lions punter since 2003, Harris was beat out by undrafted rookie Ryan Donahue. Although Harris was set to make $1.4 million this season, the Detroit Free Press reports the decision was based on performance, not salary. Harris should get a call once someone’s punter goes down this season.
