Three teams placed waiver claims on tackle Tyler Polumbus, who was awarded to the Detroit Lions on Wednesday.
The Denver Broncos released Polumbus, a third-year pro who started eight games last season, after left tackle Ryan Clady returned to practice this week.
Polumbus was a hot commodity on waivers. In addition to the Lions, the Houston Texans and Seattle Seahawks also put in waiver claims, according to a league source.
The Lions were awarded Polumbus based on having a worse 2009 record than the other claimants.
