Vito Chirco· Aug 11, 2026

Chirco says Rock Ya-Sin is the favorite to win the starting outside cornerback job opposite D.J. Reed for the Lions, while Roger McCreary is more likely to end up starting at nickel corner; he also argues Detroit should pursue veteran Trevon Diggs, whom he believes can bounce back in his age-28 season.
