Lions Waive Veteran CB Arthur Maulet as Injured Players Near Return

The move opens a 53-man roster spot with several Lions nearing activation this week.

Overview

  • Detroit is waiving Arthur Maulet, a decision first reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and echoed by multiple outlets.
  • Defensive end Josh Paschal and rookie lineman Miles Frazier have reached the end of their evaluation windows, requiring activation or a move to season-ending reserve.
  • The team is optimistic edge rusher Marcus Davenport will be activated for this week’s game against the Packers.
  • With D.J. Reed and Khalil Dorsey back last week and Terrion Arnold on track to play, Detroit’s need for a veteran nickel decreased.
  • Maulet appeared in six games for the Lions, logging 105 defensive snaps with 14 tackles, two pass breakups and an interception, and he could return on the practice squad if he clears waivers.
