Allen Park, MI (Sports Network) – The Detroit Lions officially released troublesome wide receiver Titus Young on Monday, ending his two-year stint with the club.<\/p>\n
Young did not play in the Lions’ final six regular season games as a result of causing problems with the team’s coaching staff.<\/p>\n
A day after getting into an altercation with wide receivers coach Shawn Jefferson in a Nov. 11 contest against the Packers, the former 2011 second- round pick was sent home from practice by head coach Jim Schwartz.<\/p>\n
He was then held out of Detroit’s next two contests before being shelfed for good when the team placed him on the injured reserve list.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old out of Boise State was coming off a stellar rookie campaign in 2011, finishing with 48 receptions for 607 yards and six touchdowns. However, the Lions didn’t deem his production worthy of his attitude.<\/p>\n
In 10 games in 2012, Young made 33 catches for 383 yards and four touchdowns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
