In a bold and unexpected move, the Detroit Lions have announced the release of five players as they reshape their roster ahead of the upcoming season. The team has parted ways with wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr., fullback Jason Cabinda, defensive lineman Chris Smith, wide receiver Devin Thomas, and linebacker Alex Elkins.

Marvin Jones Jr., a seasoned veteran and fan favorite, has stepped away from football to address personal family matters. Jones expressed his gratitude towards the organization and fans, stating, “I have so much love and respect for the Ford Family, the city of Detroit, my teammates and coaches.” His departure leaves a notable void in the Lions’ receiving corps.

Fullback Jason Cabinda, who has been with the Lions since 2019, was waived to make room for kicker Michael Badgley. Cabinda’s versatility and leadership were valued assets, and his release signifies a shift in the team’s offensive strategy.

Defensive lineman Chris Smith was released from the practice squad, a move that underscores the Lions’ intent to revamp their defensive front.

Wide receiver Devin Thomas and linebacker Alex Elkins were also released as the team signed defensive back Brandon King. King brings experience from his previous tenure with the Indianapolis Colts, and his addition aims to bolster the Lions’ secondary.

These roster changes reflect the Lions’ commitment to restructuring and strengthening key positions. As the team navigates these transitions, fans remain hopeful that these decisions will pave the way for a competitive and successful season.
