Who Should I Start? Malik Taylor or Greg Dortch

Monday, May 12, 9:38 PM

The Detroit Lions announced on Monday that they signed free-agent tight end Luke Deal, wide receiver Malik Taylor and defensive lineman Raequan Williams while waiving tight end Caden Prieskorn in a corresponding move. Deal, Taylor and Williams impressed Detroit's coaching staff enough after trying out in the team's rookie minicamp over the weekend. Deal will provide depth for the Lions behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright if he makes the team after recording 17 catches for 116 yards and two touchdowns in 65 games (19 starts) over six seasons at Auburn. Taylor was on Injured Reserve all of last year with the New York Jets due to an undisclosed injury, but evidently he's healthy now. The 29-year-old entered the NFL in 2020 with the Green Bay Packers and has just nine catches on 13 targets for 93 yards and one touchdown in 28 games (one start) over three seasons.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (chest) was placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday with a chest injury that he suffered in last week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dortch's season has likely come to an end with this move, but he'll technically be eligible to return for the regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Rams. The 27-year-old recorded 29 receptions for 206 yards and three touchdowns on 33 targets, along with seven carries for 15 yards and another score on the ground in 12 games this season. Arizona is dealing with multiple injuries at the wide receiver position, with Zay Jones (Achilles) already on Injured Reserve, and Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) ruled out for Week 14's divisional matchup against the Rams. Michael Wilson and tight end Trey McBride will be expected to lead the passing attack on Sunday, with Trent Sherfield Sr. mixing in after being elevated from the practice squad. If active, Xavier Weaver (hamstring) could operate as the team's WR2 behind Wilson.
