The Detroit Lions released veteran offensive tackle Germain Ifedi over the weekend as part of their initial 53-man cutdowns. A few days later, Ifedi has found a new home. Per several reports, Ifedi visited the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday and is expected to sign with the team on Wednesday.
Ifedi was in a tight battle with incumbent Matt Nelson for the Lions’ backup tackle job. Midway through training camp, coach Dan Campbell admitted the race between the two was very tight.
“I think that Nelson and Ifedi are just going back and forth,” Campbell said.
