The Detroit Lions have picked a long snapper, and it's the same one they employed the past two years.
The Lions released veteran long snapper Jake McQuaide on Monday, giving the job to incumbent Scott Daly for 2023.
Daly handled long-snapping duties for the Lions the past two seasons, but the team signed McQuaide, a two-time Pro Bowler, this spring to try and expedite his development.
"Daly’s done a great job since he’s been here, but at the end of last season I felt like, personally, and him and I've talked about this, but I felt like personally, he didn't make the step forward that we wanted to see from him from the year before," Lions special teams coordinator Dave Fipp said Saturday.
