Lions announced Thursday afternoon they have released offensive lineman Keaton Sutherland from the Reserve/Injured list with an injury settlement.

Starting with the first play of the game from the Lions, we go to the play above. The Lions come out in a Twins Left formation with their '11' personnel (one running back and one tight end). At the bottom of the screen, you'll see Jackson Meeks (83) and Isaac TeSlaa (18) bunched together.

The former No. 2 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft is technically eligible for an extension, but he is also coming off a gruesome leg injury which prematurely ended his 2024 campaign. While the Michigan native is expected to one day reset the pass-rush market, it's not something he's focused on right now.

That bond is very evident in Detroit between their trio of special-teams stars: kicker Jake Bates, punter Jack Fox, and long snapper Hogan Hatten. A recent story from CBS News Detroit showcased some of that bond on and off the field. Hatten shared how the three spent time together in San Diego this offseason.

Quintez Cephus, now with the Texans, made a spectacular leaping catch during joint practices at the facility where his NFL career began.

In fact, there is a chance that the Lions could make a shocking move before the regular season arrives. NFL.com analyst Eric Edholm has named Hooker as a potential cut candidate this year. That would be a major decision from Dan Campbell and company.
