The Detroit Lions are bringing aboard help at the defensive back position.
Per reports, they’re signing Corn Elder to a 1-year “prove it” style contract:

A 5th round pick of the Carolina Panthers in 2017, Elder missed his entire rookie season thanks to a knee injury. He’s appeared in 30 career games with them including one start.
