Lions worked out 4 DBs including former Michigan CB Jeremy Clark

The Detroit Lions are in the process of cutting down the roster to just 53 players by Saturday, but they are still also looking to add potential talent too.

The Lions worked out four defensive backs as part of Monday’s festivities at team headquarters in Allen Park. The foursome, courtesy of Kyle Meinke of MLive,

Clark is probably the most familiar name for Lions fans. He played collegiately at Michigan before being a sixth-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the New York Jets. He was most recently with the Seattle Dragons of the XFL after several injuries derailed his Jets career.

None of the players were immediately signed to the roster.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed LB Tuzar Skipper off of the New York Giants’ practice squad.

Outside linebacker Tuzar Skipper, who began his NFL career in Pittsburgh after signing with the Steelers following the 2019 NFL Draft, is headed back to the Steel City.

Skipper announced on Tuesday that the Steelers had signed him to their 53-man roster off of the New York Giants’ practice squad, where he has resided since late October. Prior to that, he had spent some time on Big Blue’s 53-man roster after being claimed by the team off of waivers in September.

Skipper curiously deleted his announcement tweet, but the move was later confirmed by the Steelers themselves and he was back in action on social media.

In six games with the Giants this season, Skipper recorded three tackles, recovered a fumble and had a half a sack.

Despite the Giants’ problems at the linebacker position, Skipper never really factored in, so now he’s back in Pittsburgh where he has rapidly become a bit of a folk hero.

With an open spot on their practice squad, the Giants signed defensive back Derrick Baity.
