signed with Detroit as a free agent last week.

Falcons, who he signed with as an undrafted free agent out of
Delaware in 2013.
The five-year veteran has 48 tackles in 25 games (nine starts)
over the last two seasons after totaling 365 in 47 games (43
starts) from 2013-15. He also nabbed a pair of interceptions in

--After an image of what is apparently the Tennessee Titans' new
jersey emerged on social media, the NFL is investigating the
source of the photo, according to a report from the Tennessean.
The team is scheduled to debut its new look at an announcement
show on Wednesday night.
The NFL declined to comment and the Titans did not respond to a
request for comment.
The image, which emerged Monday evening, appears to show a
retail version of the Titans' new uniforms, featuring
quarterback Marcus Mariota's No. 8. It's navy with light blue
stripes down the sides, a new number font and a gray shoulder
yoke.
