The Detroit Lions have released defensive end James Houston, who struggled to replicate his rookie season's success. After a promising start with eight sacks in 2022, Houston faced challenges due to injuries, managing only one sack this year.
Head coach Dan Campbell acknowledged the need for a fresh start, noting that the team had given Houston multiple opportunities. The Lions, currently leading the NFC, have dealt with injuries to key players and recently acquired Za'Darius Smith to bolster their defense.
