In need of another running back for their backfield, the Detroit Lions signed one of last season's most unlikely playoff heroes.
The Lions agreed to a contract with free-agent running back C.J. Anderson on Monday, NFL Network and ESPN reported.
Anderson, 28, worked out for the Lions last November after he was waived by the Carolina Panthers, but signed with the Oakland Raiders instead.
