Lions hosting RB Spencer Ware for visit, Haloti Ngata retires

Allen Park The Detroit Lions re-signed Zach Zenner, but are still exploring options for additional backfield competition behind starter Kerryon Johnson.

After hosting longtime Rams backup Malcolm Brown late last week, the team is reportedly bringing in Spencer Ware, most recently with the Kansas City Chiefs, for a visit this week, according to ESPN.

Ware, 27, was a sixth-round pick out of LSU in 2013. After a one-year stint with Seattle, where he appeared in just two games, he caught on with the Chiefs prior to the 2015 season.

Ware's best season came in 2017.
