Detroit Lions sign WR Avery Davis, waive EDGE Zach Morton

Before Saturday’s training camp practice, the Detroit Lions announced a few roster moves. They confirmed previous reports that they have signed cornerback Trae Hayes and waived/injured Jarren Williams. However, a pair of new roster moves were announced, too. The Lions have signed wide receiver Avery Davis and waived edge defender Zach Morton.

Davis is an interesting signing. An undrafted prospect out of Notre Dame, Davis missed the entire 2022 season after tearing his ACL late in 2021 and then again in 2022 (other leg) in practice. Heading into 2022, Davis was named a team captain for Notre Dame and expected to be the team’s top slot receiver.
