Panthers waived LB Doug Hogue. The Panthers claimed Hogue off waivers when he was cut by the Lions in the middle of last year. Now that Jon Beason and Thomas Davis are healthy, Hogue moves on.

Panthers claimed LB Doug Hogue off waivers from the Lions. The 2011 fifth-rounder will pitch in on special teams in Carolina. He showed flashes of athleticism during offseason practices in Detroit, but didn't possess the strength or coverage ability to succeed on defense.

Lions waived LB Doug Hogue. A fifth-round pick in 2011, Hogue was an offseason puff piece all star, but seldom used through Detroit's first five games. He'll look for work as a special teamer.

Second-year Lions LB Doug Hogue is expected to have a bigger role this season. A fifth-round pick, Hogue played just 13 defensive snaps as a rookie, but made six special teams tackles in 13 games. Hogue should be in for more snaps as a reserve linebacker, but is still well off the radar in IDP leagues.
