The Detroit Lions announced on Wednesday, that rookie corner Jermaine Waller has been placed on the reserve/retired list.
Waller participated in the Lions’ rookie minicamp and the first two weeks of organized team activities (OTAs) but was not at the first day of mandatory minicamp and it’s now clear why.
After starting three years at Virginia Tech, Waller went undrafted this past April and signed with the Lions following the NFL Draft. Largely playing in a zone-based scheme at VT, Waller had shown the ability to play press-man, making him an interesting prospect for Detroit.
