Detroit signs Tre Flowers to the practice squad, adding veteran depth as D.J. Reed and Terrion Arnold miss time. Amik Robertson shifts outside; Lions may deploy Rock Ya-Sin or Khalil Dorsey at the other outside slot if Arnold cannot play.

With Maddox able to handle the slot in a pinch, Detroit reshapes its secondary ahead of a Week 5 clash with Cincinnati. Flowers’ experience and four career interceptions give the defense a-needed floor behind a young core that includes Carlton Davis III, Robertson, and Maddox, while the depth chart remains fluid as injuries linger.

Detroit Lions sign Tre Flowers to the practice squad, adding veteran depth at cornerback as injuries press their outside spots. Flowers, a 2018 Seattle fifth-rounder who started 40 games early in his career and has since logged time with Bears, Bengals, Falcons, Jaguars and Colts, steps in as insurance with D.J. Reed hampered by a hamstring and Terrion Arnold nursing a shoulder.

The move signals Detroit’s push to stabilize a secondary that has been tested by injuries. Flowers brings cross-position experience and a steadying presence, offering a potential path to active roster value if he earns it in practice and special-teams duties, especially as the Lions navigate a demanding schedule.

Detroit adds veteran depth at corner, signing Tre Flowers to the practice squad as injuries mount to Terrion Arnold and D.J. Reed. Flowers, a seven-season vet with stops in Seattle, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Indianapolis and Chicago, could be ready quickly. Ty Summers also signs for linebacker depth. Campbell signals ongoing help, with Erick Hallett versatile in nickel-to-safety roles ahead of Week 6 against Kansas City.

Colts eye six cornerbacks and a center to fill an open roster spot after Week 2, staging seven workouts including Isaiah Bolden, Tre Flowers, Keenan Garber, Daequan Hardy, Keenan Isaac, Nik Needham and Jimmy Morrissey. Injuries tighten the depth chart as Indy weighs immediate help at cornerback and an interior blocker, with Chris Lammons likely to land on the 53-man roster and a corresponding practice-squad shuffle looming.

Jaylon Jones is on IR and Charvarius Ward was in concussion protocol, underscoring why the club is expanding CB options. The workouts signal a practical, depth-focused move rather than a blockbuster signing, with the potential for one of the tested players to secure a roster spot as Indy races to bolster a vulnerable unit.

Chicago Bears trim to 53 with five gut checks: Brittain Brown, Tre Flowers, Jordan McFadden, Zacch Pickens, Tyler Scott all hear their names called. Roschon Johnson also missed time due to injury, spotlighting a backfield still in flux. The moves underscore depth needs at CB, OL and D-line, while giving more responsibility to the rookies and veterans who made the cut. Chicago’s 53 signals week-to-week fantasy pivots as health, position battles, and special-teams roles shape Week 1 touchups.

Brown’s preseason production couldn’t overcome depth in the backfield; Flowers yielded to depth and injuries at corner; McFadden and Pickens both showed value but lacked a clear path to a full-time role; Scott failed to separate after multiple chances. Fantasy leagues watching Bears practice squad moves will note RBs and WRs with a chance to step in if injuries hit early.

From a fantasy lens, the Bears’ roster churn emphasizes upside bets on injury-free players who can step in quickly. Expect midseason shifts as Johnson returns, Brown latches on elsewhere, and WRs/CBs who flashed in August push for meaningful snap share when games matter most.
