Detroit Lions promote CB Mohammad Seisay cut Kevin Ogletree

Lions promote UDFA rookie CB Mohammad Seisay to the 53 man roster. Injuries to 7 Defensive backs have forced the Lions to hire a guy off the street (Gorrer) and now go to the practice squad. Seisay played well in the preseason beating out Jonte Green, Chris Greenwood among others. He will wear the # 40 tomorrow.

Here is a tribute:

Seisay had 4 tackles 3 PBU and a pick in the preseason

Lions release veteran WR Kevin Ogletree. This is disappointing because I converted my Roy Williams, then Stefan Logan jersey to an Ogletree jersey.

Here is a tribute:

Ogletree played in 12 games for Detroit
13 rec 199 yards 1 td

Here is the Ogletree jersey.
Maybe I will still wear it.

Good luck Kevin
