Detroit Lions re-sign ‘incredible’ special teams cornerback

The Detroit Lions are bringing back cornerback Khalil Dorsey. The team announced on Thursday he has re-signed for the 2025 season, but did not offer any contract details.

Dorsey entered the league in 2020 as an undrafted prospect with the Baltimore Ravens. After a couple of years in Baltimore, Dorsey eventually found his way onto the Lions’ practice squad late in the 2022 season. Since then, his career has blossomed as a special teamer and depth cornerback. He played 248 special teams snaps in 2023 and 272 last year, including the important role of gunner and jammer on the punt teams.
