Report: Lions work out Brandon Marshall

In need of help at the wide receiver position, the Detroit Lions brought in a prominent veteran for a workout.

According to Field Yates of ESPN, the Lions worked out wide receiver Brandon Marshall, most recently of the Seattle Seahawks, as they seek a replacement for the recently-traded Golden Tate.

Marshall was cut by the Seahawks last week. He caught only 11 passes for Seattle this season. He’s three years removed from his most recent 1,000-yard season and isn’t really regarded as a top-tier receiver anymore. Still, after trading Golden Tate, the Lions could use some extra help that they may hope Marshall could come in and provide.
