The Detroit Lions are adding a former head coach to their defensive staff.
ESPN reported Tuesday that ex-Chicago Bears, Carolina Panthers and Denver Broncos head coach John Fox appears headed to the Lions as a senior defensive consultant.
Fox served in a similar role with the Indianapolis Colts last season.
The Lions tied for 28th in the NFL in points allowed last season (25.1 ppg) and finished last in yards allowed, and they lost their most senior defensive assistant, defensive line coach Todd Wash, to the Panthers.
OPINION:Detroit Lions should trade for Jalen Ramsey, even if it costs the No.
