Detroit Lions release Joseph Fauria and Kellen Moore

Lions release 3 rd year veterans TE Joe Fauria and QB Kellen Moore.

Fauria an UDFA in 2013 expolded on to the scene as a rookie with 7 touchdowns but an ankle injury ended his season in 2014. I believe the Lions do not trust Fauria with his story of how he hurt his ankle. He did not have surgery in the off season and the injury lingered into training camp.

Here is a tribute:

Fauria played 23 games with 2 starts in Detroit
24 rec 281 yards 8td

Lions cut QB Kellen Moore. A 3rd year udfa who has not played in an NFL game. HE has been the third QB the past two years. He is practice squad eligible and could be re-signed after some injury issues resolve themselves.

Moore 135/224/4 1350 yards 9td

Good luck men
