Former University of Tennessee wide receiver Chris Hannon was signed by the Detroit Lions on Tuesday, merely hours after being waived by the Miami Dolphins.
Hannon, who played at UT 2002-05, has yet to catch a pass in a regular-season NFL game. He started the season with the Carolina Panthers, but was released Aug. 30 during final cuts.
Two days later, Hannon was signed to the San Francisco 49ers' practice squad. He was activated by the 49ers on Nov. 30, before being waived on Dec. 2.
Hannon didn't stay unemployed long, being picked up by the Dolphins on Dec. 3.
