Still in need of running back help behind Kerryon Johnson, the Detroit Lions are hosting Spencer Ware on a free-agent visit Monday, ESPN reported.

Ware was the Kansas City Chiefs’ starting running back in 2016, but he’s missed much of the last two seasons with injuries.

Ware did not play in 2017 after injuring his knee in the preseason, and he ran for just 246 yards in 13 games last season before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury.
