Thursday open thread: Who will be the Detroit Lions’ backup outside cornerback?

Last week, the Detroit Lions released veteran cornerback Quinton Dunbar, as his absence due to a personal issue reached a third week. That move—paired with the signing of nickel cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman—caused a ripple effect down Detroit’s roster. Mike Ford, who had been the team’s starting nickel, started taking significant reps on the outside. Bobby Price, a prominent member of special teams and a safety since his days at Norfolk State, is repping at cornerback for the first time.

That leaves Detroit’s depth situation at cornerback a bit of a mystery. We know Jeff Okudah is going to start.
