The Detroit Lions announced Thursday afternoon that former starting slot CB Bill Bentley was waived by the team. Bentley, who tore his ACL in week 1 last season, could be replaced by Josh Wilson or the two cornerbacks drafted this year (Alex Carter and Quandre Diggs).
The Lions announced they cut CB Bill Bentley, a third-round pick in 2012.

Bentley tore his ACL in Week 1 and still wasn't participating in team drills yet. Lions have other options to play nickel.
