Tom Pelissero of USA Today reports that the Lions are bringing in free agent RB Matt Asiata for a workout at some point in the near future.
This is the first reported interest in Asiata since the free agent market opened a few months ago.
A recent report connected the Lions to free agent RB LeGarrette Blount (NFLTR), so it does appear as though Detroit is in the market for a larger running back.
Asiata, 29, wound up signing on with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent out of Utah back in 2011.
