Brandon Pettigrew no longer has a stall in the Detroit Lions locker room, and it's only a matter of time before the tight end has a new team altogether.
The Lions removed Pettigrew's nameplate and belongings from the stall he inhabited in the corner of the locker room inside their Allen Park training facility one day after they ended his season by placing him on the nonfootball injury list.
Pettigrew, 31, did not appear in a game this year after he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee last December.
He opened training camp on the physically-unable-to-perform list and took a pay cut before the regular season started in hopes of returning at some point this year.
