DeShawn Shead sits out of Wednesday’s practice Detroit Lions cornerback DeShawn Shead did not participate in the team’s practice on Wednesday. He was spotted working with a trainer on an undisclosed injury. This comes following a variety of moves the Lions made in the secondary the past couple of days Christian Jones Jersey White , including the additions of safety Marcus Cromartie and cornerback Sterling Moore. This is the first time that Shead has sat out of practice following Detroit’s preseason game against the New York Giants last Friday where he did not play a single snap.The race for the Lions CB2 role has been heating up in recent weeks. Incumbent Nevin Lawson has been seeing a majority of the first team reps in practice and has been listed as a starter in both of the team’s opening games. Shead was signed by the Lions last spring on a one-year deal worth just over $3 million and has been competing with Lawson and former second-round pick Teez Tabor for playing time across from Darius Slay. The corner has suffered from injuries in the past as well. He was a member of the Super Bowl winning Seattle Seahawks secondary that earned the “Legion of Boom” moniker and was a regular starter in Seattle until he tore his ACL in the divisional round of the 2016 playoffs. He spent much of the 2017 season on the physically unable to perform list before being released by Seattle this past March. While we still do not know the severity and cause of Shead’s injury, this could prove to be a blow to his chances to be named the Day 1 starter in the upcoming season. With the Lions clearly set on bringing in more talent to compete for a roster spot and Shead still not having shown that he can be a regular contributor this season, his roster spot may also be in jeopardy. Guard T.J. Lang Ricky Wagner Jersey White , wide receiver Jace Billingsley and defensive tackle Toby Johnson also did not participate on Wednesday. After the Lions announced the deal for Rashaan Melvin, the cornerback used social media to thank the Raiders organization and apologize for his play last season. It didn’t work out for Melvin in Oakland after he signed as a free agent last offsason. He made only seven starts, getting benched in favor of Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. “I greatly appreciate the Oakland organization for giving me the opportunity to further my career this past season Tracy Walker Jersey White ,” Melvin wrote. “I respect the Raiders organization; I respect the tradition; and I respect the die-hard fans that has and will forever believe in Raider Nation. I feel like I cheated the fans and organization and [the] long list of players that came before me that made the organization what it is. It was always a lifetime dream of mine to wear the silver and black. It really hurt me that I wasn’t able to be myself and play the style of play that I know I was capable of playing. To all my guys in that locker room, I appreciate you guys for making the year special through everything. I cherish the relationships that were created on and off the field. I respect you guys, and I wish you boys the best. Y’all ball out for the city of Oakland one more time or for however long y’all [are] there. Respect!”Melvin’s deal with the Lions is for one year and $3.5 million. He reunites with Lions head coach Matt Patricia Ricky Jean Francois Jersey White , whom Melvin played for in New England.“I’m thankful for every opportunity God has placed in my life,” Melvin added on social media. “We all must go through some things to get to what is actually meant for us. Excited about this next step.” « Majority of people enjoy Fallout 76 at homePOE although does have a cash keep available for it » Weitere Artikel der Kategorie Allgemein |
