According to Adam Schefter, the Lions are hosting free-agent RB Todd Gurley for a visit.
Gurley has a lot of familiarity with some other members of the Lions offense so it would be interesting if he ends up signing.
Detroit already has D’Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams on the roster but OC Anthony Lynn is known for his commitment to the run.
Gurley, 26, is a former first-round pick of the Rams back in 2015. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $13.823 million contract and stood to make a base salary of $2.31 million for the 2018 season when the Rams picked up his fifth-year option.
Gurley later agreed to a new four-year extension worth $60 million and $45 million guaranteed with the Rams a few months later.
Los Angeles released him last March and the Falcons quickly scooped up Gurley with a one-year, $6 million deal.
In 2020, Gurley appeared in 15 games for the Falcons and rushed 195 times for 678 yards (3.5 YPC) and nine touchdowns, adding 25 receptions for 164 yards.
