Detroit Lions Bolster Injured Secondary with Veteran Cornerback Kendall Fuller

Detroit, MI – The Detroit Lions are addressing a growing injury crisis in their secondary by adding veteran cornerback Kendall Fuller to their practice squad, the team announced Tuesday. The 30-year-old, who won a Super Bowl with the Kansas City Chiefs, provides much-needed experience to a position group decimated by injuries.

Fuller, a former third-round pick, spent last season with the Miami Dolphins, where he started 11 games. He was released by Miami in February and has been seeking a new opportunity since. The Lions, facing a shortage of healthy cornerbacks, offered that opportunity.

Detroit’s cornerback room is currently without several key players, including Terrion Arnold, D.J. Reed, Avonte Maddox, Khalil Dorsey, and Ennis Rakestraw. The addition of Fuller follows the signing of another veteran cornerback, Tre Flowers, just two weeks prior.

In other roster moves, the Lions waived safety Loren Strickland. They also re-signed OL Kingsley Eguakun and DL Chris Smith to the practice squad, providing depth after waiving them to sign players ahead of their Week 6 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Strickland’s roster spot will likely be filled by DL Alim McNeill, who is nearing a return from injury.

The Lions face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7, with the over/under set at 53.5 points, as their revamped secondary aims to contain the Buccaneers’ passing attack.
