The Lions worked out wide receiver Moritz Boehringer on Wednesday, Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press tweets. The German wide receiver was released last week by the Vikings in advance of the 53-man deadline. 
Last year, Boehringer became the NFL’s first player to ever be drafted directly from Europe when Minnesota selected him in the fourth round. He was one of the year’s most polarizing talents as some scouts raved about his athleticism and others were adamant that he would not be able to hack it in the NFL. This year, the Vikings elected to keep 2017 fifth-round pick Rodney Adams and seventh-round pick Stacy Coley over the German import.
The Lions presently have five receivers on the 53-man roster in Golden Tate, Marvin Jones, T.J. Jones, Kenny Golladay, and Jared Abbrederis. They also have wide receivers Jace Billingsley and Noel Thomas on the practice squad plus Pittsburgh product Dontez Ford on the p-squad IR.
Boehringer was drafted in the 6th round.
