The Detroit Lions are continuing their efforts to add former Pro Bowl running back Todd Gurley to the roster, but in the meantime, the team added depth to the backfield, signing free agent Michael Warren.
Undrafted out of Cincinnati a year ago, Warren has had brief stints with the Eagles, Panthers and Washington Football Team. He appeared in just one game as a rookie, with Washington, seeing a pair of snaps on special teams.
At Cincinnati, the 5-foot-11, 222-pounder twice earned all-conference honors. During that stretch from 2018-19, he rushed for 2,594 yards (5.1 yards per carry), while adding another 385 yards on 46 receptions and scoring 36 total touchdowns.
