Fantasy Impact
This is a relatively unsurprising move by Lions' general manager Bob Quinn. Local undrafted product Winn hasn't produced much in his time in the league and offered only minor special-teams value. The ascendance of seventh-round draft pick Dwayne Washington this preseason likely played a role in Winn's release.
