Still looking for help for their undermanned secondary, the Detroit Lions worked out a former All-Pro cornerback who once led the NFL interceptions.
Former Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs was one of eight players and the only defensive back who worked out for the Lions on Sunday, Aug. 9.
Diggs, 27, led the NFL with 11 interceptions in 2021, when he made his first of two straight Pro Bowl appearances. He tore the ACL in his left knee in 2023 and has struggled to regain his All-Pro form the past two seasons.
The Lions have been juggling personnel in a secondary that lacks proven playmakers this summer.
Starting cornerback D.J. Reed has missed three straight practices with a groin injury and Rock Ya-Sin and Nick Whiteside took first-team reps in practice Sunday. Ennis Rakestraw Jr., who's missed most of his first two seasons with injury, also has taken first-team reps at outside cornerback and in the slot this summer, while free agent addition Roger McCreary has had a slow start the camp.
