The Detroit Lions have made a decision on free agent cornerback Khalil Dorsey.<\/p>\n

After a solid 2024 season, the talented defensive back and special teams ace is returning for another season in 2025.<\/p>\n

Dorsey, 26, suffered a gruesome leg injury against the Buffalo Bills, abruptly ending his third season in Motown.<\/p>\n

He knew immediately he was injured badly, after feeling intense pain following being clipped by teammate Ezekiel Turner on a passing route on third-and-goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I mean, obviously crushed for him. I mean, this guy\u2019s an incredible player for us, obviously. Just watching the film this morning, even a rep of him on punt return holding up one of their gunners, did a great job for us,” special teams coordinator Dave Fipp explained after Dorsey’s season ended prematurely. “But he was a great player for us all year long, obviously.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dorsey told Lions OnSI during locker clean out he needed to be calmed down after being placed in an ambulance following suffering a broken fibula and tibia in his right leg. Naturally, he thought about his future and if he had played his last down for the Lions.<\/p>\n

He indicated he was given approximately a recovery period of four to six months.<\/p>\n

Detroit’s coaching staff regularly noticed the disruption the talented defender brought to the opposition as a special teams gunner.<\/p>\n

Dan Campbell noted, \u201cDorsey I think is, if not the best, one of the best gunners in this league.”<\/p>\n

In 27 appearances for the Lions, the former Ravens and Giants defender has recorded three passes defensed and 25 tackles.<\/p>\n

Detroit’s roster now features seven total defensive backs, including Dorsey, Terrion Arnold, D.J. Reed, Rock Ya-Sin, Ennis Rakestraw, Amik Robertson and Stantley Thomas-Oliver.<\/p>\n

After the signing of Dorsey, Detroit now has 72 total players under contract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
