On Thursday afternoon, the Detroit Lions secondary was picked apart by Chicago Bears backup quarterback Chase Daniel. On Thursday evening, the Lions were reportedly awarded a Bears cornerback that had been waived just so that Daniel had an emergency backup in case he suffered an injury.
Cornerback Marcus Cooper, who had been a healthy scratch for most of the year, was claimed by the Lions, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport:
Former #Bears CB Marcus Cooper was awarded to the #Lions via waivers, per the transaction report, but it’s deferred until tomorrow.
