On Tuesday afternoon, the Detroit Lions announced that they have waived veteran wide receiver Geronimo Allison in a flurry of moves that were the ripple effects of a change at kicker.
As previously reported, the Lions signed kicker Riley Patterson to the 53-man roster. There was already a vacant spot on the roster after Detroit placed kicker Austin Seibert on injured reserve on Saturday due to a hip injury. Detroit also waived Ryan Santoso, but he created a vacancy on the practice squad, because he was never signed to the 53-man roster. He was simply a gameday elevation for the Steelers game on Sunday.
