Lions released P Ryan Donahue. Donahue lost a battle with Ben Graham for the gig. He averaged just 38.0 yards per punt during the preseason.

Lions P Ryan Donahue (quad) will be ready for training camp. Donahue beat out veteran Nick Harris in a camp battle as a rookie last season, but was sent to injured reserve in Week 13. He'll compete with Ben Graham in camp.

Lions placed P Ryan Donahue (quadriceps) on injured reserve, ending his season. Donahue suffered the injury three weeks ago while taking reps at kicker for a banged-up Jason Hanson. The Lions couldn't afford to keep carrying three punters, so Donahue's season is over after averaging 42.7 yards on 49 punts.
