RT davebirkett: Braylon Broughton, claimed off waivers yesterday, failed his physical and was released by the Lions

And that answers that.

Yeah he looked the part in his old college photos but that was then and looks can be deceiving.

Just out of shape? I figured that was the problem.

Man. The Lions need pass rushers and he couldn't make it...

We need pass rushers and he couldn't make it here. I realize he might not fit the 3-4 scheme, but if he just got cut from a team desperately needing play makers on D. Well....

Being injured is not the only way to fail a physical. You can fail a physical by being out of shape.

Not sure you're right about that one. I was thinking the physical as a condition of the contract signing, was the coaches and team doctors running you through some flexiblity and stabilization type movements, as well as x-rays, and MRI's, etc., to make sure you were physically sound to compete, not a physical fitness test.
