Nickell Robey-Coleman: Cut by Detroit
Rotowire
Robey-Coleman was released by the Lions on Tuesday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Robey-Coleman found himself on the outside looking in after a couple of undrafted rookies in AJ Parker and Jerry Jacobs made names for themselves in the preseason. However, after logging seven straight seasons with at least 550 defensive snap, Robey-Coleman should easily find a spot with a more competitive team that might place less of an emphasis on developing younger players.

Bills' Nickell Robey-Coleman: Mild ankle injury
Rotowire
Robey-Coleman, who injured his ankle during Monday's practice, was on the sidelines in a walking boot Tuesday, BuffaloBills.com reports.
Coach Rex Ryan says the boot is precautionary, so perhaps Robey-Coleman can get back into action soon. He's expected to be the Bills' nickel corner this season (is there a more aptly named player in the game?), though rookie Kevon Seymour, also out of USC like Robey-Coleman, has been coming on strong all summer.

Bills' Nickell Robey: Modest contributor
Rotowire
Robby finished the 2015 season, his third in the NFL, with 46 tackles, four passes defensed, and one sack.
Robey will be back with the Bills next season, but the team is pretty set at corner and it's hard to see him getting anything more than a nickel-type role. He played in 61.8 percent of the team's defensive snaps this season, up slightly from the 58.9 percent he saw the previous season.
