The Detroit Lions have shockingly released pass rusher James Houston from their roster ahead of this week’s Thanksgiving Day clash against the Chicago Bears.
Houston went viral earlier this month after appearing to poop his pants during a win over the Houston Texans and will now be looking for a new home following what has come across as a surprising decision by the team.
ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler broke news of the player’s release on Tuesday afternoon.
“The #Detroit Lions are releasing pass rusher James Houston, per sources,” the insider tweeted. “Houston had eight sacks as a rookie in 2022 but has been in and out of the Detroit lineup since then.”
