ALLEN PARK, Mich. - The Detroit Lions have re-signed cornerback DeShawn Shead, presumably for extra cornerback help as star corner Darius Slay recovers from a concussion.
Shead had initially signed with Detroit during free agency in March and had appeared to be slated to be the starter opposite Slay at the beginning of training camp. He eventually was passed on the depth chart by Nevin Lawson and then Teez Tabor.
A strained quadriceps also kept him out of two preseason games. Shead played a lot in the preseason finale.
