The Detroit Lions made a crucial move in free agency by re-signing cornerback Khalil Dorsey, a key special teams player, on Saturday. Dorsey has been with the Lions since December 2022, playing in 27 games, including 14 in the 2024 season. While he primarily serves as a cornerback, Dorsey's impact on special teams has been significant, ranking high in playing time alongside teammates Sione Vaki and Ben Niemann.

Unfortunately, Dorsey's season was cut short last year due to a serious injury, but his performance in a Thanksgiving game against the Bears showed his capability. His re-signing comes as the Lions also brought in seasoned cornerback Rock Ya-Sin, indicating a strategic approach to enhance their secondary and special teams as they look ahead to the 2025 NFL Draft.
