After dealing with a personal issue and being unable to practice for most of training camp, the Detroit Lions announced that they are moving on from CB Quinton Dunbar ahead of their first preseason game.
The 2021 free agent was expected to compete for a starting role at one of the outside cornerback spots, but it was quickly clear that he had fallen behind Jeff Okudah and Amani Oruwariye in the competition. Still, Dunbar was holding a key role as a veteran third corner and provided the Lions with solid depth at the position if something were to happen to either of their up-and-coming youngsters.
