In a somewhat surprising move, the Detroit Lions released cornerback Bill Bentley after concluding their minicamp on Thursday.
After wrapping up their mandatory minicamp last year, the Detroit Lions made a shocking roster move by releasing cornerback Chris Houston. Although Houston's health was up in the air with him recovering from toe surgery, nobody really expected them to just release him.
This year, a similar situation just played out with cornerback Bill Bentley, who is working his way back from a torn ACL. The Lions wrapped up their mandatory minicamp on Thursday, and they released Bentley following practice.
