Allen Park — After trading Quandre Diggs to the Seattle Seahawks earlier this week, the Detroit Lions signed veteran safety Marcus Gilchrist to bolster the team's depth at safety.

An ninth-year veteran, Gilchrist brings a wealth of experience to Detroit, having appeared in 123 games, including 98 starts.
