Allen Park — The Detroit Lions didn't claim any players off waivers a day after the league's 32 teams trimmed their rosters to 53 players, but the team did see one of their cuts claimed, as cornerback Starling Thomas V was scooped up by the Arizona Cardinals.
Thomas, an undrafted rookie out of UAB, would have been a logical addition to Detroit's practice squad had he cleared through the waiver process. Instead, he'll get a chance on Arizona's roster after a strong offseason with the Lions.
Thomas played extensively with the second-team defense throughout training camp, as well as several of Detroit's top special teams groupings.
