ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions signed Cyrus Kouandjio on the final day of minicamp. On the day of the team's final practice of the preseason, the offensive tackle was cut.
Kouandjio had been brought in to compete with Greg Robinson for the starting left tackle spot after Taylor Decker had shoulder surgery. That competition never really materialized, though. Robinson took over the top role by the end of the first week of training camp and never relinquished the role.
He missed a few days of camp this preseason due to injury and on Monday, Lions coach Jim Caldwell mentioned Kouandjio's health when he was asked about his performance.
