It turns out tight end Hunter Bryant may not be going anywhere. A day after the Detroit Lions waived him with a non-football injury designation, the young tight end has cleared waivers and reverted back to the Lions’ reserve/non-football injury list, per the NFL’s transaction list.
Typically we see players moved to the active/non-football injury (NFI) list prior to training camp if the player is not ready to practice. If the player is still not ready to play by the beginning of the season, they are moved to the reserve/non-football injury list. That means the player would have to miss, at least, the first six games of the NFL season while the player heals.
