Lions Release Orien Harris

As speculated by PFT's Mike Florio yesterday, the Lions have claimed defensive end Turk McBride, who was waived by the Chiefs yesterday.  McBride was drafted in the second round back in 2007, so it's no surprise that the Lions claimed him.  Aside from wanting to upgrade their depth at DE, defensive coordinator Gunther Cunningham was with the Chiefs when McBride was drafted. 

Orien Harris, the defensive tackle acquired in the Ronald Curry trade, was released to make room on the roster for McBride.
