The Lions have signed defensive tackle Corvey Irvin, according to Brian McIntyre (via Twitter). Irvin had been cut by the Cowboys on Friday, so Detroit didn’t waste much time in snatching him up.
Irvin, 28, appeared in six games for the Cowboys last season, appearing in a total of 119 snaps for the club over the season’s final few weeks. His new deal with the Lions is almost certainly for the minimum salary, and should give him the opportunity to earn a spot on the team’s regular-season roster this summer.
