McCloughan just said CB Chris Culliver has been released. Wow.

Culliver is attempting to come back from 2nd ACL injury in 3 years. McCloughan: "Getting Norman and getting Fuller kinda changed things."

McCloughan says the door isn't closed on Culliver, who is now a free agent. If he doesn't get what he wants, could perhaps return later.

Doesn't sound likely, though.
