Lions add depth at two positions after a pair of training camp injuries

Allen Park — To address depth concerns created by a pair of recent injuries, the Detroit Lions added wide receiver Avery Davis and cornerback Tae Hayes to the roster ahead of Saturday's training camp practice.

Davis, a dual-threat high school quarterback, briefly played cornerback before converting to wide receiver at Notre Dame. Appearing in 40 games across four seasons for the Irish, he tallied 66 receptions, 862 yards and eight touchdowns. He missed all of his senior season after tearing his ACL during practice last August.

Hayes, who went undrafted out of Appalachian State in 2019, has been on the fringes of rosters the past three years.
