The Detroit Lions announced on Monday they have released defensive end Armonty Bryant. Bryant had just finished serving his four-game suspension last week—his third suspension in less than a year. The Lions chose to keep him on the commissioner’s exemption list for a week, before finally coming to a decision to let him go rather than promoting him to the active roster.
Bryant leaves the team after spending just over a year on the roster. He was released by the Browns just after serving his first suspension and was immediately picked up by Detroit.
