Neither Teez Tabor nor Jamal Agnew saw much playing time on defense as rookies, but when the Detroit Lions kicked off mandatory minicamp Tuesday, both of the second-year defensive backs were on the field with the first-team defense.
Tabor worked as the outside cornerback opposite Darius Slay, with last year's starter Nevin Lawson on the second team, and Agnew played as the primary nickel cornerback in a secondary that included Glover Quin and Quandre Diggs.
I'd be surprised if that's how the Lions line up in their secondary when they open the season Sept. 10 against the New York Jets, but there's plenty of reason to believe that group will be on the field together at some point this year.
