The Houston Texans hosted the Lions in joint practices this week, and two names that consistently came up among the standouts were Lions receivers Chris Lacy and Deontez Alexander, the latter of which came up with this huge catch in practice:
That’s good news for the Lions, as Jermaine Kearse, who was running away with the number four receiver role, suffered a broken leg early in last week’s preseason game and exposed the lack of depth the Lions had at the position.
After the mess that took place on offense last week with receivers completely unable to get open, finding someone to fill Kearse’s void should be a top priority, and surely Darrell Bevell will make it so.
