NOTEBOOK: How the Lions improved at nickel CB
Tim Twentyman covers all the news from Tuesday's practice including the importance of the nickel corner, Kyle Van Noy's injury and more.
While the defensive tackle position, and how the Lions will handle the loss of Ndamukong Suh, Nick Fairley and others has gotten a lot of the headlines, one area of the defense that hasn’t been talked about as much is the nickel cornerback spot.
Injuries decimated the position last year and the Lions had to kind of piece together the spot with players signed off the street, and by converting Cassius Vaughn, who had never played inside before, into the role.
