Jeremy Cox - Pro Football Rumors

Jeremy Hill worked out for the Lions, according to ESPN.com’s Field Yates (on Twitter). This is Hill’s first known workout since a torn ACL ended his 2018 after one game. The former Bengals back categorized himself as close to returning as of July, and he’s now ready to audition for teams.

The former second-round pick latched on with the Patriots on a one-year deal in 2018. But the knee injury scuttled his chances of contributing to last season’s Super Bowl champions.

Hill has struggled with multiple injuries over the past two seasons. Set to 27 this weekend, Hill does have three seasons in which he cleared 790 rushing yards. They came from 2014-16, with 2014 being the only time he surpassed 4.0 yards per carry.

Kerryon Johnson, Ty Johnson, J.D. McKissic and Carson reside on the Lions’ roster. It’s possible the Lions opted for a Carson waiver claim over Hill, but other teams may soon inquire about the five-year veteran.

Running back Jeremy Cox also showed his stuff for Detroit on Friday, as Howard Balzer tweets.

In addition to the Chargers’ Russell Okung announcement, they finalized their 53-man roster.

Cardale Jones did not make the team, with Los Angeles going with Tyrod Taylor and rookie Easton Stick behind Philip Rivers. The XFL has openly mentioned Jones on multiple occasions, so the former Bills and Ohio State passer could be a high-profile candidate for the upstart league.

Blake Camper, T
Thomas Costigan, DE

Chargers Sign 19 UDFAs

April 27th, 2019 at 8:46pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

As teams officially announce their undrafted free agent classes, we’ll be posting them. The Chargers are the second team to announce, following the Steelers. Los Angeles inked a massive group, bringing in 19 players:

Chris Brown, G (USC)
Eurndraus Bryant, DT (N.C. State)
Blake Camper, OT (South Carolina)
Josh Corcoran, LB (Northern Illinois)
Jeremy Cox, RB (Old Dominion)
Kemon Hall, CB (North Texas)
Daniel Helm, TE (Duke)
Reggie Howard, DT (Toledo)
Bradford Lemmons, CB (Furman)
Koda Martin, G (Syracuse)
Jason Moore, WR (Findlay)
Tyler Newsome, P (Notre Dame)
Chris Peace, DE (Virginia)
Rodney Randle, DB (Lamar)
Matt Sokol, TE (Michigan State)
Roderic Teamer, S (Tulane)
Trevion Thompson, WR (Clemson)
Tanner Volson, C (North Dakota State)
Elijah Zeise, LB (Pittsburgh)

As the Chargers pointed out in their release, they’re annually one of the best teams at unearthing solid undrafted free agents. They’ve had an undrafted rookie make the team for 22 consecutive seasons, which is the longest streak in the NFL. In each of the last four seasons, they’ve had at least three undrafted rookies make the team.

One of their best undrafted finds in recent years, Tyrell Williams, just inked a huge four-year, $44MM deal with the Raiders. With their huge class this year, they opted for a lot of small school and FCS prospects. Tyler Newsome is an interesting signing since the Chargers had a terrible punting situation all of last year. They ended up releasing Drew Kaser in the middle of the year, and Newsome should have a good chance to make the team. Volson was the center for Easton Stick, who the Chargers just drafted in the fifth round, during their time at North Dakota State.
