Tackle LaAdrian Waddle made the Lions as an undrafted rookie in 2013 and made his way into the starting lineup halfway through his first season.

Waddle would go on to start eight games that year and 16 more in 2014 and 2015 before getting pushed out of the lineup by Michael Ola in recent weeks. Now he’s been pushed off of the roster completely.

The Lions waived Waddle on Tuesday, ending his run in Detroit almost exactly a year after he tore his ACL. That injury kept Waddle from playing early this season and likely hindered him at points on the field after he made it back into action. Waddle can be claimed by any team before Wednesday afternoon and will become a free agent if he doesn’t get nabbed.

Detroit claimed center Gabe Ikard off of waivers from the Browns to fill Waddle’s roster spot. The team also announced the addition of journeyman tight end Bear Pascoe, who will take on some blocking work with Brandon Pettigrew’s season over due to an ACL tear.
