Lions | DC likes depth at defensive tackle Wed Jul 1, 02:56 PM
Detroit Lions DTs Danny Shelton, Nick Williams, Da'Shawn Hand, John Atkins, Kevin Strong and Olive Sagapolu are joined by rookies John Penisini and Jashon Cornell at the interior of the Lions' defensive line in 2020. Defensive coordinator Cory Undlin likes the overall talent of the group. 'We have a really nice depth chart there at that position and we'll just kind of mix and match,' Undlin said. 'We'll watch (Shelton and Williams) work and find out where they're most comfortable, what the best combination is and then we'll settle on that once we get closer to the start of the season.'

Lions | Deontez Alexander joins PS Sat Dec 1, 01:52 AM
The Detroit Lions signed free-agent WR Deontez Alexander to the practice squad on Friday, Nov. 30. DT John Atkins was released in a corresponding move.
| Footballguys view: Alexander, undrafted out of Division III Franklin College, can flat out fly at 6'1" 196 pounds. He plays bigger than his size and does a great job of tracking deep passes. We'll continue to monitor his pro progress but only in the deepest of deep dynasty leagues. |
