JOE DAHL NEWS

Let go by Lions Dahl (back) was released Monday.

Impact The Lions are parting ways with the 2016 fifth-round pick just as the league-wide free agency window opens up. Dahl's release suggests he's no longer bothered by the back injury that kept him out of last year's season finale.

Day ends early Dahl (back) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Buccaneers.

Impact Detroit couldn't contain Tampa Bay's front seven when attempting to drop back to pass, as Chase Daniel and David Blough absorbed a combined four sacks after Matthew Stafford exited in the first quarter with an ankle injury. Dahl had already missed six games this season entering Week 16, and the injury woes continue as Detroit moves into its season finale against the Vikings.

Back in lineup for Week 10 Dahl (back) is active heading into Sunday's matchup against Washington.

Impact Dahl dealt with a groin injury throughout the latter half of September and the early part of October, which landed him on injured reserve, but he was able to return to action Weeks 6, 7 and 8. A back injury kept the 27-year-old guard out last week against the Vikings as well, but he's shown enough to team trainers to get the nod for a Sunday afternoon home game against Washington. He'll start in place of the injured Halapoulivaati Vaitai (foot) at right guard.
