Allen Park — After placing Quintez Cephus and Corey Ballentine on injured reserve this week, the Detroit Lions are adding some depth at cornerback and wide receiver ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals.
The team elevated veterans Nickell Robey-Coleman and Geronimo Allison off the practice squad on Saturday.
Robey-Coleman, in his ninth season, signed with the Lions during training camp, but he was unable to beat out rookie AJ Parker for the team's starting slot cornerback job.
Primarily a nickelback, the 5-foot-8, 180-pounder does have experience playing both inside and outside. He appeared in 15 games for the Philadelphia Eagles last season, making seven starts.
