Lions attempt to sign veteran cornerback thwarted by Saints

The Detroit Lions have taken several injury hits to their defense over the last two games. With the recent injuries to cornerbacks D.J. Reed and Terrion Arnold, the Lions are attempting to improve their depth at the position.

Reed was recently placed on IR after suffering a hamstring injury in the Lions' 34-10 win over the Cleveland Browns in week 4. Lions cornerback Khalil Dorsey was also placed on IR with a wrist injury he suffered in practice.

Arnold, at first, it looked like he was going to be out for the season after being carted off with a shoulder injury in Sunday's 37-24 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
