The Detroit Lions have another case of COVID in their defensive back room.
The Lions placed cornerback Nickell Robert-Coleman on the practice squad reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday.
Robey-Coleman is the ninth Lions player to test positive for COVID in the past nine days, part of a league-wide outbreak that has forced several teams to play shorthanded.
The Lions promoted seven practice squad players to their game day roster for last week’s loss to the Denver Broncos and could face a similar roster crunch Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.
Center Evan Brown, running back Jamaal Williams, safety Tracy Walker and cornerbacks Bobby Price, Ifeatu Melifonwu and Mark Gilbert are on the reserve/COVID list, and Robey-Coleman, Corey Ballentine and Tavante Beckett are on practice squad COVID IR.
