The Lions need reinforcements.
Both Carlton Davis and Khalil Dorsey are out for the season, leaving a big hole in their secondary.
Injuries are piling up, and the Lions need answers fast.
Here’s the good news: a potential solution is right in front of them.
Detroit native and former Michigan cornerback Ambry Thomas just hit the market.
You know the guy.
He graduated from Martin Luther King High School and played for Michigan before being drafted by the 49ers in the third round in 2021.
Thomas had a decent run in San Francisco’s stacked defense.
In 42 regular-season games, he started 11, including six starts last year.
He even started all the 49ers’ playoff games, including the NFC Championship against the Lions.
Sure, he struggled in the playoffs, but he held his own during the regular season.
Here’s why this makes sense: the Lions don’t need him to be a starter.
They’ve done it before—rotating a group of guys to cover the cornerback position.
Ambry Thomas can easily fit into that rotation.
And guess what? He’s healthy and ready to go after being waived off injured reserve by the 49ers.
It’s a no-brainer for the Lions.
A Detroit-born, Michigan-raised cornerback helping his hometown team during a crucial stretch?
That’s a story everyone can get behind.
Now it’s up to the Lions to make the call.
