Isaiah Buggs, a defensive tackle, has reportedly bid goodbye to the Detroit Lions, while no formal roster move has been made as of yet.
Buggs closed a touching social media post by thanking his colleagues on the Lions and the city of Detroit.
“It’s time for me to say farewell. Detroit 96 is eliminated.
With defensive tackle Alim McNeill scheduled to return from injured reserve this week—a move head coach Dan Campbell had hinted was occurring—Buggs appears to be the odd man out.
The NFL does not post the daily transaction wire log until 4 p.m. ET, but the Lions have not disclosed any transactions.
After joining the Lions in 2022, Buggs had ups and downs with the coaching staff in 2023. He was a healthy scratch for a number of games, but during the previous four, he has managed to participate in roughly 40% of the defensive snaps. In the previous two games, Buggs did not record any official stats.
