While the Detroit Lions didn’t make any transactions on the NFL’s official log on Tuesday, several familiar names made appearances in the “tryouts” section.
Houston was apparently the place to be for ex-Lions on the tryout circuit. Two former Detroit players were auditioning for the Texans, most notably wide receiver Danny Amendola. The veteran slot receiver, a Houston-area native, was joined by CB Cre’von LeBlanc, who was with the Lions in 2018.
Running back Kerryon Johnson, fresh off his injury settlement with the Philadelphia Eagles, was in Las Vegas to work out for the Raiders. Safety Alijah Holder, who was cut by the Lions last week, was also in Las Vegas. One-time starting fullback Nick Bawden tried out for the Patriots.
None of the players were immediately signed by the respective teams. This is the first time Amendola, 35, has worked for any teams since his Lions contract expired after two years as Detroit’s starting slot receiver.
