Overview
- Detroit brought in veteran defensive tackle Folorunso Fatukasi and cornerbacks Ryan Cooper and Anthony Kendall for workouts as part of routine training-camp evaluations.
- The most recent reports show none of the three players had been signed by the team, leaving their status as open options rather than confirmed additions.
- Fatukasi is a 31-year-old interior lineman with 90 NFL games and 64 starts whose recent availability is clouded by a shoulder-limited 2025 season and mixed run-defense grades.
- Ryan Cooper arrives with recent game tape from the UFL’s Birmingham Stallions, while Anthony Kendall offers prior NFL special-teams experience that often determines late roster spots.
- The Lions’ interest reflects a shortfall at true nose tackle after losing DJ Reader, a recent signing of Ben Stille that provides different positional size, and ongoing absences and minor injuries that keep depth evaluations active.
