Lions Waive Medlock, Quarterman

Adam Caplan of Scout.com reports that in addition to signing seventh-round defensive end Willie Young, the Detroit Lions have waived kicker Justin Medlock and offensive lineman Kurt Quarterman.

Medlock had been claimed off waivers from the Washington Redskins on June 15. A 2007 fifth-round pick out of UCLA by the Kansas City Chiefs, Medlock has also spent time with the St. Louis Rams and handled the kicking and punting duties for the Toronto Argonauts in the CFL in 2009.

If Medlock clears waivers, he's expected to return to the Argos.

Quarterman also entered the NFL in 2007, signed by the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent out of Louisville. The 6-5, 348-pound guard has also spent time with the New York Giants and Cleveland Browns, but has yet to appear in an NFL game.

Young signed a three-year, $1.262M contract on Monday, which included a $47,800 signing bonus.
