Lions LB Tulloch passes physical, team releases him

The Detroit Lions cut linebacker STEPHEN TULLOCH after he passed his latest physical on Tuesday. Tulloch, who led the team with 107 tackles last year, underwent off-season ankle surgery. He no longer fit into the Lions 2016 plans but the team would have had to pay him a $1.1 million injury settlement had they released him earlier. It's hard to imagine the defense improving after releasing its leading tackler but the team feels TAHIR WHITEHEAD is ready to take over.
