Hankins, other Redskins targets to visit other teams

The Washington Redskins aren’t the only team interested in Johnathan Hankins.

The free agent defensive tackle will visit the Detroit Lions, ESPN is reporting. Hankins visited the Redskins on Monday, but left Ashburn without a deal.

Hankins, 25, would be a significant haul for the Redskins, who are looking to upgrade their defensive line. He was released last week by the Indianapolis Colts, after just one season since signing a three-year, $27 million deal in 2017. The Colts are switching defensive schemes and didn’t view Hankins as a fit.
