NFL stories making news on March 17th. The Detroit Lions are bolstering their cornerback group in free agency. They've already signed Rocky Asin and Christian Easian, and now they've added Roger McCreary on a one-year deal. This comes amid ongoing health worries at the position for the team. These moves make sense given the injury history among their current corners. McCreary, who will be 26 at the start of the 2026 season, brings solid experience from recent years. Fans and analysts see this as a savvy step to add depth without big risks. His youth fits perfectly for a short-term free agent pick-up, helping stabilize the secondary right away. Looking at his medical past, McCreary played in 17 of 21 games last year before a groin or hip issue sideline him for four on injured, reserve. He bounced back strong, suiting up for the final five regular season games, plus three playoff ones. Overall, experts rate his injury concern low at about two out of ten.

Past hamstring and shoulder tweaks were minor, and the hip seems like a soft tissue fix rather than anything chronic. This episode is brought to you by our sponsor, See the episode description. A pillow that sounds as good as it feels. Built for listening in bed, S-O-L-I, solely pillow.com.
