As the Detroit Lions navigate a mounting cornerback crisis, analysts are calling for the team to look to the past for answers — and reunite with a familiar face.
Following the injury to Terrion Arnold and lingering uncertainty surrounding D.J. Reed, many believe the Lions could stabilize their secondary by bringing back a former starting defensive back who already knows the system and culture under Dan Campbell.
While the team has shown interest in exploring trade options, a reunion with a proven veteran might make more sense both financially and strategically. The former Lion in question not only has starting experience in Detroit but also thrived under the team’s aggressive defensive approach — making him a natural fit to plug back into Aaron Glenn’s scheme.
Detroit’s defense has been strong through the early part of the season, but depth in the secondary has quickly become a growing concern. The front office is expected to explore all possible solutions before the trade deadline, and bringing back a familiar name could be the low-risk, high-reward move this team needs.
If the Lions truly want to keep their Super Bowl dreams alive, reuniting with an ex-starter who already understands the team’s identity could be the perfect solution to keep their defensive firepower intact.
