Lions' Darrin Walls: Appears to be top reserve corner
Darrin Walls recorded one tackle in Thursday's preseason game against the Bengals.Walls was the first to come off the bench at outside cornerback, replacing the team's top CB Darius Slay, and also worked on Detroit's first-string special teams unit. Though just halfway through the preseason, Walls appears to be entering the 2016 campaign safely on the team's roster and only behind the aforementioned Slay, Nevin Lawson and slot-man Quan Diggs at cornerback.

Lions' Darrin Walls: Joins Lions on one-year deal
Darrin Walls has agreed to terms with the Detroit Lions, ESPN's Michael Rothstein reports.The contract is a one-year, minimum-salary deal. Through five seasons in the league, the undrafted Notre Dame product has accrued 75 tackles (11 on special teams), as well as 22 pass breakups and three picks across 54 games, including 16 starts. In 2011, Walls spent his rookie year with Atlanta, then joined the Jets the next season where he looked to be an ascending talent, as his stats increased year-to-year from 2012 to 2014. However, the Jets welcomed back CB Darrelle Revis in 2015 and Walls didn't manage a single start throughout the entire campaign. Subsequently, Walls' production fell off a cliff, and the Jets decided against keeping him in the fold. Now with the Lions, he'll compete for a starting gig following the retirement of Rashean Mathis, though Walls will likely prove to be a depth signing and special teams contributor.

Calf keeps Jets CB Walls guessing about Week 12 status
New York Jets cornerback Darrin Walls remains unsure if his ailing calf will allow him to play in Week 12, when his team comes off its bye week to play Buffalo. He has missed the last two games with the injury sustained, ironically, against the Bills on Oct. 26. The Jets can certainly use him. They lead the NFL with 25 touchdown passes allowed and are tied for last with just three interceptions despite snagging two Sunday against Pittsburgh. Walls, who told NJ.com that the injury was more severe than he first anticipated, updated his current status. "Right now, it's day-to-day," he said. "...It should be better with this time off. With the extra week, that's always a help. Hopefully, I'll be ready for Buffalo."
