Lions Claim DT Leger Douzable
The reason the Lions got rid of two players at the same time yesterday is because two new players were added to the roster. One was draft pick Willie Young, who signed a three-year deal with the team. The other was defensive tackle Leger Douzable, who was claimed off waivers from the Rams.
Douzable entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2008, originally on the roster of the Minnesota Vikings. He went on to play for the New York Giants for two seasons, though he never got into a game.
In 2009, as a member of the St. Louis Rams, Douzable played in 12 games and made one start. He had 11 tackles for the Rams, showing that he was more of a depth player who hasn't exactly gotten a ton of playing time over the years.
With the Lions, Douzable will compete to be a backup defensive tackle. The Lions have quite a few DTs that already fit the depth role, but Douzable is another one that can compete for a roster spot during training camp.

This roster adjustment might be a pre-cursor to the Lions final roster plans
Schwartz may be planning to keep an extra D lineman as opposed to an extra WR on the final roster so he is adjusting his training camp position battles to reflect that, or if you really want to go out on a limb with a reasoning for this move it could be either Landon Cohen or Joe Cohen were one of the players who left the sideline to join in the final practice brawl and Schwartz is sending them the message " You screw up again you will be replaced"
Could be...we have a lot of DT depth already, though
Suh, Williams, SLH, Fluellen, Turk McBride, and the Cohen twins. This guy makes 8, but there’s no way they keep more than 4 or 5.
