  • Michael Brockers: Done in Detroit

    The Lions released Brockers on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    As a result of the move, the Lions are slated to save $10 million against their salary cap for the coming season. The 32-year-old saw a massive decline in his productivity in 2022 considering that he registered just four tackles across the six games he suited up for. Brockers is thus set to become a free agent and is poised to play his twelfth NFL season elsewhere.

  • Lions' Michael Brockers: Slowing down

    Brockers (ankle) recorded four tackles and one pass breakup over six games in 2022.

    Once a dependable piece up front, the 32-year-old Brockers showed clear signs of decline early on this year, and he was largely a healthy scratch for the majority of the games after Detroit's Week 6 bye, though he was listed as out with an ankle injury for the season's final contest. Considering the Lions can save nearly $14 million against the cap by parting ways with him this offseason, Brockers would need to take a hefty pay cut to return to the Motor City in 2023.

  • Lions' Michael Brockers: Unlikely to play

    Brockers (illness) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Jets, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

    Brockers didn't practice Thursday or Friday due to an illness and is unlikely to play Sunday. If the veteran is sidelined, Benito Jones would be the only healthy backup defensive tackle behind Isaiah Buggs and Alim McNeill.
