Several former members of the New Orleans Saints are again looking for work after being waived in the time leading up to the NFL’s roster cuts deadline (3:00 p.m. CT on Saturday, Aug. 31).
Wide receiver and returns specialist Tommylee Lewis was waived by the Detroit Lions on Friday, as listed on the official NFL transactions wire. Lewis tried out with the Lions during training camp but struggled to connect with their quarterbacks, and had issues securing punts during the preseason games. He also missed time with an undisclosed injury after signing with Detroit; an unrestricted free agent earlier this summer, the Saints allowed him to sign with a new team without making a counter-offer.
