After Friday night’s win over the Jaguars the Detroit Lions have released six players: G Alex Bullard, G A.J. Dalton, DT Greg Hickman, RB Steven Miller, DE Kris Redding and WR Conner Vernon.

The first roster cuts down to 75 are due at 4 p.m., on Tuesday.

The Lions also placed rookie wide receiver TJ Jones on reserve/physically unable to perform list meaning he has to miss at least the first six weeks of the season. Jones has missed all of training camp and the preseason while rehabbing a shoulder.
