Detroit Lions release three players during NFL roster cutdown process

The Detroit Lions began roster reductions on Sunday as the team works toward a final 53-man squad. The franchise informed veteran linebacker Troy Reeder, defensive lineman Myles Adams, and tight end Zach Horton that they will not be on the initial roster. The moves follow the team's preseason finale, a 25-16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts held on Saturday. Reeder and Adams, both vested veterans, are eligible to sign with other teams immediately, while Horton is subject to the league's waiver process. The organization faces a deadline of 6 p.m. ET on Sunday to finalize its personnel decisions across a competitive training camp depth chart. Additional roster moves are expected throughout the afternoon as the front office continues trimming the roster to meet league requirements.
