The Lions are making a change to their linebacking corps.
Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the team is releasing Devon Kennard on Tuesday.
Kennard signed a three-year deal with the Lions in 2018 and dropping him now creates over $5.6 million in cap space for the Lions this season. Kennard started 30 games over the last two seasons and recorded 104 tackles, 14 sacks and a forced fumble during that time.
UPDATE 1:13 p.m. ET: Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports the Lions will part ways with Kennard, but are trying to trade him before releasing him.
