The Detroit Lions are adding more veteran help for their secondary.
NFL Network reported Thursday the Lions have agreed to terms with cornerback Rock Ya-Sin.
A second-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts in 2019, Ya-Sin played in 13 games, mostly on special teams, last season for the San Francisco 49ers. He has spent the past four years with four teams, playing for the Colts in 2019-21, the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022 and the Baltimore Ravens in 2023.
He had two pass breakups and made three tackles with the 49ers.
MEL KIPER JR.: Lions' NFL draft: 'Polarizing' Tennessee edge rusher James Pearce Jr. could fit
The Lions return four of five starters in their secondary and signed D.J. Reed to fill the other starting cornerback spot in free agency, but have focused on adding defensive depth this offseason. Along with Reed, the Lions have signed nose tackle Roy Lopez and linebacker Grant Stuard in free agency and re-signed Derrick Barnes, Marcus Davenport, Levi Onwuzurike, Pat O'Connor and Ezekiel Turner, among others.
The Lions went 15-2 last season, tied for the best record in the NFL, but succumbed to injuries in the playoffs, when they lost in the divisional round to the Washington Commanders with five starters on injured reserve.
Ya-Sin, a part-time starter for most of his time with the Colts, should compete for a backup role in Detroit with Ennis Rakestraw. Terrion Arnold and Amik Robertson return as starting cornerbacks.
Dave Birkett will sign copies of his book, "Detroit Lions: An Illustrated Timeline," at 7 p.m., March 24, at the Birmingham Public Library.
