In 2021, Gilbert played eight games for the Lions and recorded three tackles, one pass deflection, and one forced fumble.

Roberson, 24, went undrafted out of Wake Forest before catching on with the Cowboys.

He was among Dallas’ final roster cuts and had an earlier stint with the Steelers practice squad.

During his four years with the Demon Deacons, Roberson played in 29 games, catching 146 passes for 2,158 yards (14.8 YPC) and 17 touchdowns.
