The Detroit Lions are set to release former All-Pro special teamer Jalen Reeves-Maybin when the new league year begins, according to a report from NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Reeves-Maybin, who is the president of the NFL Players Association, was named to his first Pro Bowl in 2023, and was also named a second-team All-Pro selection on special teams that season.

Reeves-Maybin has been one of the most reliable players in the league on special teams since entering the NFL in 2017. He has spent six of his seven professional seasons with the Detroit Lions. The other season, in 2022, was with the Houston Texans.

Reeves-Maybin has 221 career tackles to his name over 114 career games.
