The Detroit Lions added a new defensive tackle to the roster just ahead of Thursday’s practice session in Allen Park. The Lions announced they have signed free agent Kevin Wilkins to a contract.
In order to make room for Wilkins, the team waived DT Olive Sagapolu.
Wilkins was most recently with the New York Giants. He spent most of the 2019 season on the Philadelphia Eagles practice squad, where he spent time working with new Lions defensive coordinator Cory Undlin. He was originally an undrafted free agent from Rutgers. The 25-year-old Wilkins has not played in an NFL game as of yet.
