The Detroit Lions have recorded one sack in their first three preseason games of 2018. As these are exhibitions, there is no need to hit the panic button in Motown quite yet. Still, the Lions clearly believe there is something missing.
In an effort to fill that void, Detroit signed veteran pass rusher Robert Ayers to a one-year deal on Monday. Turning 33-years old next month, Ayers was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in March after posting only two sacks in 2017.
But Ayers is just three years removed from posting a career-high 9.
