The Lions are adding rookie CB Tyson Russell to the roster
Add another new name to the Detroit Lions roster as training camp begins. The Lions have signed rookie cornerback Tyson Russell to the team, per Aaron Wilson.
Russell is an undrafted free agent who played collegiately at Vanderbilt. He participated in the Lions' rookie minicamp on a tryout basis back in May. The 5-9, 184-pounder primarily played outside in Vanderbilt's pressure defense and was also a four-year contributor on special teams. He clocked a 4.47 40-yard dash at the Commodores' pro day.
He fills the camp vacancy created when the Lions placed Stantley Thomas-Oliver on the PUP list to start camp.
