This story will be updated through the day Monday and Tuesday as the Detroit Lions make roster moves ahead of the 4 p.m. deadline Tuesday:
Mike Ford a surprise cut
The Lions have made their first surprising move of roster reduction week, cutting special teams ace Mike Ford, according to a person with knowledge of the move.
Ford played both slot and outside cornerback in training camp, but his real value to the team was as a gunner, where he was easily one of the Lions' best coverage players.
Ford posted a cryptic message on Instagram early Monday, writing, "Thank you Detroit" with a peace sign.
