Detroit Lions waive Quinton Dunbar after cornerback out for most of training camp

DETROIT, Mich. -- One day ahead of the Detroit Lions' preseason opener against the Buffalo Bills, the team announced Thursday that it has released cornerback Quinton Dunbar while signing free agent running back Craig Reynolds.

Dunbar missed a significant portion of training camp, due to personal reasons, after originally agreeing to a one-year deal with Detroit this offseason after an injury-plagued 2020 season in Seattle, where he played just six games.

The veteran cornerback suffered a knee injury that required season-ending surgery with the Seahawks. Lions coach Dan Campbell addressed Dunbar's situation Monday, but the team has now decided to go in a different direction.
