Lions Release Receiver, Add Tackle

Bryan Brackney by Analyst Written on November 07, 2009
John Niyo is reporting via twitter that the Detroit Lions have released wide receiver John Standeford and signed defensive tackle Landon Cohen off of their practice squad. Standeford was the Lions fourth receiver with Calvin Johnson injured.

Now that Johnson is healthy, the Lions had no need to carry Standeford on their roster. Cohen will add depth at defensive tackle. Standeford started four games with the Lions in 2008, and played in nine games.

Cohen started some in 2008, but that team managed to lose every game they played. Cohen spent time with the Lions and the Oakland Raiders this offseason. Landon also goes by "Joe".
