The Lions waived Farniok (undisclosed) from the reserve/PUP list with an injury settlement Saturday.
Detroit initially dropped Farniok on Wednesday with a failed physical examination, but the team then changed course and instead added him to the PUP list. It's still unclear what injury or health issue caused him to fail his physical, but the 26-year-old should now be free to join up with a new team ahead of the regular season.
