Lions Sign Owen Spencer To Practice Squad, Release Tim Toone

by Sean Yuille on Sep 28, 2011 10:32 AM EDT in Detroit Lions News

A week ago, the Detroit Lions brought back wide receiver Tim Toone by signing him to the practice squad. Cornerback Donovan Warren was released to make room for Toone, who was just released today to make room for wide receiver Owen Spencer.

Spencer was last with the Seattle Seahawks. He spent a few weeks on their practice squad this month before recently being released. During the preseason he played for the Tennessee Titans after being signed by them as an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina State.

Spencer worked out with the Lions on Tuesday. Former Steelers wide receiver Terrence McCrae also worked out with the Lions on Tuesday. Detroit decided to add Spencer to the practice squad and release Toone for the second time in the last month (he was also cut during the final round of roster cuts).

The Lions also released tight end Cornelius Ingram, who was placed on the practice squad injured reserve earlier this month.

I know that we don't necessarily need any more receivers right now

But his highlight videos look pretty good and as much as I liked Toone, he didn’t look like he was going to pan out to be a very good receiver.

seriously

Toone’s like that ex-girlfriend who still really likes you.

I feel like the Lions are just giving him booty calls late night after they weren’t able to hook up at the bar.

Toone

must need the $$ to eat. If I were him I wouldn’t give Mayhew the time of day ever again.

The NFL is a Business.

These are business decisions.

The Lions are beginning to claw their way up into a Franchise to watch. Toone did what he could which I appreciate, and Mayhew showed him respect by trying to fit him onto this roster.

It’s not a matter of time of day or anything like that.
