While contributing as a dependable cornerback in the Lions\u2019 rotation, he is best known for his impact on special teams.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freep.com\/gcdn\/authoring\/authoring-images\/2023\/12\/03\/PDTF\/71794446007-gty-1829126420.jpg?width=700&amp;height=467&amp;fit=crop&amp;format=pjpg&amp;auto=webp\" alt=\"Detroit Lions' Dan Campbell: Photos of his career in Motown\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"GGU57INTMVD3FNEIO3RDZQJA3M\">During the 2023 season, Dorsey played 248 snaps on special teams across 13 games. His contributions grew last season, logging a career-high 73 snaps on defense and 272 on special teams. He finished the year with 14 tackles and two passes defended. Dorsey also returned four kicks for 159 yards.<\/p>\n<p id=\"CJFMGH2I4JBR3PNW3EA3IFLHLQ\">Unfortunately for Dorsey \u2014 and the Lions \u2014 his 2024 campaign was cut short by injury. During a Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills, he suffered a season-ending ankle injury severe enough to require a cart off the field.<\/p>\n<p id=\"L6F7K3EC4ZDG7BQPDDEID6L3WI\">With the additions of Dorsey and Ya-Sin, the Lions now have seven cornerbacks under contract, including new signee D.J. Reed, along with Terrion Arnold, Ennis Rakestraw, Amik Robertson, and Stantley Thomas-Oliver.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Detroit Lions announced Thursday via their social media channels that they have re-signed cornerback Khalil Dorsey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18152,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
