Allen Park — Entering the season, the Detroit Lions were arguably deeper at safety than any position. Now, not so much.
Following last month's trade of Quandre Diggs, plus two injuries, including a concussion suffered by Miles Killebrew in practice on Thursday, the Lions are suddenly short-handed at the position.
Heading into a Sunday matchup with Chicago, there are just three healthy safeties on the roster. That includes the practice squad. And the healthy group includes two rookies, third-round pick Will Harris and undrafted free agent C.J. Moore.
Lions coach Matt Patricia was asked if the team needed to make a roster move prior to Sunday to address the depth issue.
