Recent Roster Moves

The Detroit Lions have made some roster adjustments recently, signing cornerback Javelin Guidry after waiving Morice Norris due to his hamstring injury. Guidry has played for five teams since going undrafted in 2020 and has experience in 32 NFL games. The Lions also signed Essang Bassey to bolster their defensive depth.

Impact on the Team

The injury to Norris comes at a time when the Lions are dealing with other injuries in their secondary. The team’s defensive strategy may need to be adjusted accordingly, and the signing of Guidry and Bassey will likely provide some much-needed depth ¹.
