Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and the Detroit Free Press’ Dave Birkett, the Detroit Lions are waiving defensive tackle Bruce Hector.
Last year, Hector missed the Lions’ final roster, but he spent the majority of the season on the team’s practice squad. He got the call-up to the active roster for three game appearances toward the end of last year. In those games, he tallied five total tackles.
This preseason, Hector produced six tackles and a quarterback hit in three games, but he failed to climb up the depth chart after a couple of new additions this year.
