The Detroit Lions have a large hole to fill in their secondary after parting ways with former first-round cornerback Terrion Arnold after his recent arrest.
The team has several solid depth options in Roger McCreary, Ennis Rakestraw Jr., D.J. Reed, Avonte Maddox, Khalil Dorsey, Rock Ya-Sin, and rookie Keith Abney II, but no one who’s ready to step right into the CB1 role Arnold left vacant.
But that could be about to change, according to a recent report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

“Former Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs tried out this weekend for the Detroit Lions,” Schefter posted on X.
The 27-year-old Diggs, a two-time Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro selection, is looking for another home after not re-signing with the Green Bay Packers — the team that claimed him immediately after being released by the Dallas Cowboys last December.

Though he’s dealt with some significant injuries over the last three seasons (he missed eight games last year, six games in 2024, and 15 games in 2023), some believe Diggs is still young enough that he can be an impact cornerback in the right situation.
In six seasons, Diggs has totaled 242 tackles, 63 passes defended, 20 interceptions, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and two defensive touchdowns. He’s also surrendered 22 touchdowns in coverage while allowing a completion percentage of 62 and a passer rating against of 88.7, per Pro Football Focus.
If Detroit signs Diggs, it would give the team three solid veterans along with McCreary and Reed to help mentor some of the team’s younger up-and-comers including Rakestraw, 24, and Abney, 21.
