The Detroit Lions announced Monday that they’ve released DE Armonty Bryant.
Bryant recently finished serving his third suspension, which was a four-game ban for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy.
Bryant, 27, is a former seventh-round pick of the Browns back in 2013. The Browns elected to waive him last year and was claimed by the Lions after severing a suspension to open the season.
Bryant was once again suspended three games for violating the NFL’s substances of abuse policy, which led to the Lions placing him on the reserve/suspended list. Detroit later received a roster exemption for Bryant before activating him in November.
