The NFL’s transaction wire was pretty quiet on the Detroit Lions front over the last few days. But Tuesday’s appearance on the league’s log raises an eyebrow.
Per the official release, the Lions hosted free-agent wide receiver Tom Kennedy for a visit. Yeah, that Tom Kennedy, the one who played for the Lions from 2019-2022 and was a fan favorite for much of his time in Detroit.
Kennedy was waived with injury status during the first week of training camp. He suffered a left arm/shoulder injury. Detroit then waived him from the I.R., which allowed him to try and come back instead of being out all year.
It’s the second time this season the Lions have checked in with Kennedy, who has not signed with any other team since the Lions waived him. After his last visit, the Lions instead opted to trade for WR Donovan Peoples-Jones to replace Marvin Jones on the roster.
