The Detroit Lions have reduced their roster to 85 players, ahead of Tuesday’s deadline, by waiving safety Brady Breeze with an injury designation and waiving undrafted rookie wide receiver Josh Johnson with an injury settlement.
The Lions claimed Breeze off of waivers late in 2021, and he played a special teams role during the final month of the year. Entering 2022, he was working his way into the safety competition, while also maintaining a special teams role. He is an upside player that the Lions deployed all over the secondary, and just seemed to be scratching the surface of his skill set.
