Lions host WR Tom Kennedy for a free agent visit

Lions hosted WR Tom Kennedy, who played three seasons in Detroit, for a free agent visit

After losing Marvin Jones from the receiving corps due to family matters, the Detroit Lions are at least considering bringing another ex-Lions wideout back into the den.

The Lions hosted Tom Kennedy on a visit on Wednesday, per the NFL’s transaction wire. Yes, that Tom Kennedy.

A member of the Lions from 2019-2022, Kennedy played in 20 games for the Lions over parts of those seasons. He often bounced between the practice squad and the active roster.

Kennedy was waived with injury status this summer after he suffered an arm injury in July. He was waived from the injured reserve after going unclaimed. The veteran slot receiver and one-time lacrosse player has good familiarity with the team and what the Lions might ask of him.

Kennedy was not immediately signed as of press time.
