Offseason concerns about the Detroit Lions' pass rush have manifested into a regular-season issue, which has the team taking a closer look at bringing in some help. According to multiple reports, the team is working out free agent defensive end Jabaal Sheard.
Lions coach Matt Patricia was asked about the player on Thursday.
“Jabaal, obviously I coached him and loved working with him," Patricia said. "I thought he was outstanding. A really dynamic guy at the time and (I) just really enjoyed being around him. He’s a great guy, he works really hard, is disruptive in the pass rush and all that stuff too.
