Lions sign CB Cre'Von LeBlanc off practice squad, waive Hakeem Valles

Allen Park — With four defensive backs listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, the Detroit Lions have promoted cornerback Cre'Von LeBlanc off the team's practice squad.

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.

Picked up by the Bears after he was cut by the Patriots, LeBlanc appeared in 28 games over the past two seasons, including 10 starts. He recorded 61 tackles, 13 pass breakups and two interceptions, including a pick-six off Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford.
