The Detroit Lions have a cornerback problem and they know it. They have reportedly already told veteran cornerback Desmond Trufant they will be releasing him at the start of the new year, and nickel corner Justin Coleman may be right behind him. And while Lions coaches have already sung the praises of young corners Jeff Okudah and Amani Oruwariye, they know the cupboard is bare when it comes to depth.
“Look, you can go through the roster and it’s no secret that (wide) receiver is somewhat of a need, cornerback, we don’t have a lot of depth,” head coach Dan Campbell said just last week.
