Lions may be able to reunite with Avonte Maddox’s former Pitt teammate

The Detroit Lions have been dealing with an injury bug since last season, when multiple defenders were down for the count ahead of their divisional round matchup with the Washington Commanders. Their safety and cornerback room diminished over time, and they began the year with a major season-ending injury to Aidan Hutchinson as the biggest harbinger of doom to the unit.

This year, the Lions are entering the season with a fully healthy slate of starters in their secondary, and with the addition of D.J. Reed. The team should be aiming to bring on as many backups on their final 53-man roster with genuine talent, though.
