Reed, Terrion Arnold, and Khalil Dorsey suffered somewhat significant injuries in the past two weeks. However, their latest attempt was thwarted by the New Orleans Saints. Per NFL Network\u2019s Mike Garafolo, the Lions attempted to sign veteran cornerback Michael Davis. But the Saints, who were initially trying to sign Davis to their practice squad, upped their offer to a spot on the 53-man roster, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neworleanssaints.com\/news\/michael-davis-ronnie-bell-moliki-matavao-new-orleans-saints-roster-moves-transactions-2025-nfl-season\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Davis has now officially signed with them<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">When asked on Twitter why Davis is opting to sign with the Saints over the Lions, Garafolo said, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MikeGarafolo\/status\/1975644950063886405\">familiarity with Brandon Staley and his defense.\u201d<\/a> Staley is the Saints\u2019 defensive coordinator, and he was the head coach of the Chargers during two of Davis\u2019 seven seasons with Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Davis, 30, is a 6-foot-2 cornerback with 76 total starts under his belt. After his seven years with the Chargers, he spent 2024 with the Washington Commanders, playing in 15 games and starting two. However, he went this entire offseason unsigned as a free agent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Still, it seems likely Detroit will add some depth to the room to get them through the next few weeks. We\u2019ll see later on Tuesday if they brought in any players for visits and tryouts. <strong>UPDATE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DetroitOnLion\/status\/1975678388934201614\">They didn\u2019t<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Detroit Lions are unsurprisingly trying to upgrade their cornerback room after D.J.
