Lions | In the market for a safety? Fri Jul 16, 02:25 PM
The Detroit Lions could be on the lookout for another safety before the season, reports Tim Twentyman, of The Detroit News. There are questions about who will start opposite S Louis Delmas. S C.C. Brown has seen the most reps, as S Ko Simpson (knee) is still recovering from surgery and S Marquand Manuel has been inconsistent with his play.
| Footballguys view: Any of these guys could be good week-to-week plug-ins for IDP leagues because of tackle opportunity, but none are assured of holding the job for a long time. |
