Allen Park — Former Chicago Bears cornerback Cre'von LeBlanc is joining the Detroit Lions practice squad.
LeBlanc was released by the Bears on Saturday, as part of the team's final cuts. Shortly after clearing waivers, he updated his Twitter and Instagram bios indicating he was joining the Lions.
A source familiar with the negotiations confirmed LeBlanc will be on the practice squad, not the 53-man roster.
Undrafted out of Florida Atlantic in 2016, LeBlanc spent his first offseason with the New England Patriots, where Lions coach Matt Patricia served as defensive coordinator.
