ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Greg Robinson is thankful to have a fresh start that the Detroit Lions were desperate to give him.
“It’s really refreshing,” Robinson said.
Detroit attempted to bolster its offensive line, to make up for the potential loss of tackle Taylor Decker, by acquiring Robinson from the Los Angeles Rams.
“It was a big surprise,” Robinson said Thursday morning. “I found out last night. Quick turnaround, but I’m looking forward to the opportunity.”
The trade for Robinson, for an undisclosed draft pick, and adding free agent Cyrus Kouandjio seem to be signs the Lions are bracing for at least starting the season without Decker protecting Matthew Stafford’s blind side.
