Report: Lions adding veteran CB Rock Ya-Sin

The Detroit Lions are fortifying their depth at cornerback by agreeing to terms with veteran Rock Ya-Sin, according to NFL Network on Thursday. Ya-Sin, 28, played primarily on special teams in his lone season with the San Francisco 49ers, totaling three tackles in 13 games in 2024. The Lions already brought in free agent cornerback DJ Reed on a reported three-year, $48 million contract. Reed, 28, is expected to replace former starter Carlton Davis, who signed with the New England Patriots. The cornerback room in Detroit is green behind Reed and Amik Robertson, 26, who emerged as the top cover corner after Davis broke his jaw in December. A pair of 2024 draft picks, Terrion Arnold (first round) and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. (second), are also on the current CB depth chart. Arnold is projected as a starter again after making 15 starts in 16 games as a rookie. Rakestraw was never fully healthy because of a hamstring injury. Ya-Sin has 199 career tackles, two interceptions, 41 passes defended, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 79 regular-season games (39 starts) for the Indianapolis Colts (2019-21), Las Vegas Raiders (2022), Baltimore Ravens (2023) and 49ers. Indianapolis selected Ya-Sin in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Temple. --Field Level Media
