The Lions cut Bosworth Aug. 11 to make room for free agent defensive back Reshard Langford. It was Bosworth’s second stint with the team in as many years.

He had previously spent to time with the Lions as a linebacker, but this year he was converted to a defensive end.

He is the nephew of legendary Brian Bosworth.

Langford joins a team in dire need for safety depth after the abrupt loss of safety Louis Delmas last week due to knee surgery.

An undrafted free agent from Vanderbilt, Langford has spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. He has recorded 16 tackles so far in his young career.

Bosworth joined the Lions for a second offseason this year after previously spending time with the team at last season’s training camp. However, this year Bosworth was converted from a defensive lineman to a linebacker.
