Detroit Lions Secondary getting help with return of C.J. Moore

C.J. Moore adds some much-needed depth at the Safety position. Safeties Bobby Price and Tracy Walker are currently on injured reserve, while second-year safety Ifeatu Melifonwu is currently out with an ankle injury.

Not only will Moore add critical veteran depth in a struggling Lions Defense, but he will also likely immediately jump into a key gunner role on special teams. Price previously filled this role, but with him out last week against Dallas, the Detroit Lions gave up a 52-yard punt return, their longest of the season.

C.J. Moore

Who is J.R. Reid?

J.R. Reed is an undrafted safety out of Georgia, Reed has made a total of 16 game appearances since entering the league in 2020, serving almost exclusively on special teams. He was a three-year starter at Georgia, amassing 199 tackles, five interceptions, and 14 passes defended over that time.
