Lions may pursue safety Taylor Rapp after Broncos release

Summary

The Detroit Lions are eyeing safety Taylor Rapp, recently released by the Denver Broncos. Rapp, 28, has struggled with injuries, featuring in only six games for the Buffalo Bills last season. With Lions safeties Kaleb Joseph and Brian Branch potentially starting the regular season on the PUP list, Rapp could provide the depth they need. Though he signed with Denver shortly before his release, he previously started 24 games for the Bills over three seasons. The Lions are actively looking for veteran options to enhance their secondary as the season approaches.
