Corey Hilliard Rumors & News

When the Detroit Lions first opened up their OTAs to the media last week, head coach Jim Schwartz stressed to not read too much into who was lining up with the first team. He noted that the Lions are rotating players to give multiple guys a chance to run with the first team, and since the media only got to view one practice, they were merely getting a snapshot of that day's No. 1 offense and defense. Proof of this came when the media got access to the Lions' OTA on Wednesday. Last week, Dylan Gandy and Jason Fox served as the No. 1 right guard and right tackle, but the rotation was dif...

The Detroit Lions have re-signed offensive tackle Corey Hilliard, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal is for two years and ensures that Hilliard won't become a free agent when the new league year begins on March 12. According to Schefter, Hilliard is being brought back with the expectation that he will compete for a starting spot at right tackle. In other words, the Lions don't expect to re-sign Gosder Cherilus, so there will be a vacancy at right tackle. Hilliard, along with Riley Reiff and Jason Fox, will be the main guys in the mix to take over for Cherilus, at least going i...

Lions general manager Martin Mayhew expressed interest in re-signing Hilliard after the 2012 season.
