D.J. Reader planning to visit with Lions

Veteran DT D.J. Reader, who was on the Cincinnati Bengals in 2023, plans to visit with the Detroit Lions as a free agent.

Fantasy Impact

Free agency officially begins on Wednesday, and Reader — who is coming off a season-ending torn quad — plans to visit with the NFC runner-ups, a team that could use his services in the middle of the field. Reader ranked top-15 among all DTs in defensive grade, pass rush grade and run defense grade in 2023, according to PFF. A potential departure from Cincy would be a big hit for the Bengals' front seven.
