Detroit Lions promote G Rodney Austin and release TE Kellen Davis

Lions have promoted G Rodney Austin to the 53 man roster. Rodney will be the main the back up in the interior. Austin made the 53 late in 2013 but struggled in the preseason. Injuries to Warford, Hilliard and Reiff made this move happen. Add in that Dom and Sims have been awful, it was time to give Rodney a shot.

Here is a tribute:

Lions release TE Kellen Davis. Kellen will be best remembered for his hustle vs. the Dolphins. He chased down a blocked field goal making a tackle.


Good luck Kellen
