The Detroit Lions hosted three defensive players for workouts on Friday, including DB Ryan Cooper, DT Folorunso Fatukasi and DB Anthony Kendall, per the NFL Transactions wire.
Fatukasi, 31, is a former sixth-round pick of the Jets back in 2018 out of Connecticut. He played out the final year of his four-year, $2.6 million contract.
Fatukasi was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his NFL career when he signed a three-year, $30 million deal with the Jaguars in 2022.
He was entering the final year of that deal and set to make a base salary of $7 million when the Jaguars released him. He caught on with the Texans on a one-year deal and returned on another one-year pact in 2025.
In 2025, Fatukasi appeared in four games for the Texans and recorded eight total tackles, one tackle for loss and 1.5 sacks.
