Punter Matt Wile is Signed by Detroit Lions to practice squad
The Cardinal signed the former Atlanta Falcons punter Matt Wile to the practice
squad Tuesday.
The general manager Steve Keim of Detroit Lions was not satisfied with its
current punter Drew Butler and another punter is now with the organization.
The Lions released linebacker Reshard Cliett from the practice squad. He was
signed on Nov. 22 and was a sixth-round pick of the Houston Texans in 2015.
In Week 12, Wile played one game against the Lions this season. In that game, he
averaged 58 yards on his two punts and recorded a touchback on all seven of his
kickoffs.
Before joining the Falcons, Wile has fought for roster spots on the Carolina
Panthers in 2015 and the Dallas Cowboys this past offseason. On Nov. 29, Wile
was released by Atlanta.
