Detroit's defense intercepted 13 passes last season, tied for 11th in the NFL. Four of those came from cornerbacks, and D.J. Reed accounted for two of them.
Carter Bahns and Zachary Pereles of CBS Sports named the Lions on Thursday among five potential landing spots for New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez, alongside the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Commanders, New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Terrion Arnold, the 24th pick of the 2024 draft, was released by Detroit in June while facing felony charges he has denied, and he agreed to terms with Seattle this month. Reed inherited the No. 1 job, and the group behind him has been shuffled and interrupted by injuries throughout camp.
Tim Twentyman wrote in the club's own training camp position preview in last month that "the Arnold release hurts Detroit's depth at the position," adding it would not surprise him if general manager Brad Holmes added to the spot before the regular season. That went up five weeks before Gonzalez's name entered the conversation, written by someone the team employs.
