Detroit Lions cut 6 including Jonte Green and place DeJon Gomes on IR

Lions cut the following players:

Jonte Green a former 6th round pick in 2012. He looked like a prospect in his rookie but never progressed. Jonte is eligible for the practice squad under the new rules.

CB Jonte Green

38 tackles 1 Int 1 sack

FB Chad Abram
UDFA Rookie

CB Aaron Hester

K Gio Tavecchio

QB James Franklin

S DeJon Gomes

Tough one for DeJon, who hurt his neck vs.Oakland. He had the team made and was in the running for the 3rd safety. The Lions will keep Isa Abdul Quddus in his place.

Good luck men
