Hayden Rucci News: Let go by Detroit

The Lions waived Rucci on Wednesday.

Rucci was claimed off waivers by the Lions on Dec. 1 to give the team added depth at tight end due to Brock Wright (neck) and Sam LaPorta (back) both being on injured reserve. Rucci did not appear in a game for Detroit before being let go, but he could remain with the Lions as a member of the team's practice squad if he clears waivers.
