Matthew Stafford and Jared Goff will not be the only players facing their old teams when the Detroit Lions visit the Los Angeles Rams this week.
For Lions defensive lineman Michael Brockers, Sunday's trip to SoFi Stadium is a homecoming, too.
Brockers, who played nine seasons with the Rams and was part of the organization's 2015 move from St. Louis to L.A., said he considers his March trade to Detroit a blessing after he nearly left the Rams one season earlier.
In 2020, Brockers agreed to a three-year, $30 million free agent deal with the Baltimore Ravens that was scrapped because of concerns about his injured ankle.
