Glover Quin

The Lions released Quin in February after he started all 16 games in each of his six seasons with the team. His place at free safety likely will be filled by 2018 third-round pick Tracy Walker, who cut into the 33-year-old's snaps this past December. With 156 starts, 733 tackles (524 solo) and 24 interceptions in 159 career games, Walker put together a nice career for the Texans and Lions, missing just one game in 10 seasons. His lone Pro Bowl appearance came in 2014, when he led the NFL with seven interceptions.

Quin was back at practice on Friday which is a good sign if he wants to play in Week 16. If Quin can't go, Isa Abdul-Quddus will likely draw the start. Quin's had a solid year with 62 tackles, three interceptions, and five pass deflections.

Quin has received cl;earance to return to practice and from there he will be re-evaluated before receiving final clearance to play Sunday. Things do seem to be trending in the right direction for him though.

This is obviously good news, but Quin is not out of the woods yet, and could suffer a setback. Isa Abdul-Quddus would likely start if Quin cannot play Week 16.
