Detroit Lions reshuffle roster, adding veteran RB and speedy CB amid injuries

Detroit's training camp roster underwent a quick overhaul as the Lions placed rookie running back Kye Robichaux on waivers with an injury tag following a foot injury that may involve a broken bone. Safety Loren Strickland, who was battling for playing time behind a veteran-heavy secondary, was also waived with an injury designation. To replace them, the Lions signed veteran running back Trayveon Williams, a player with 75 regular-season appearances who can contribute on offense and special teams while other backs recover.

They also added 26-year-old cornerback Ekow Boye-Doe, an undrafted former Kansas City Chiefs player praised for his 4.38-second 40-yard dash and one outlet upside. Both signings give the Lions healthy bodies for the closing stretch of camp and a chance to earn roster spots through practice and special-teams contributions.
