Tuesday’s NFL transaction list featured a lot of familiar names and an interesting tryout for the Detroit Lions.
To begin with, two former Lions centers earned a tryout for the Baltimore Ravens: Graham Glasgow and Kingsley Eguakun. Glasgow is a 10-year veteran who started 14 games for the Lions at center last year, but Detroit cut him in a salary cap saving move, and the former Michigan Wolverine has not signed anywhere since. Eguakun started a couple of games for the Lions last year, his second season
with Detroit. However, toward the end of the season, he was poached by the Browns off of Detroit’s practice squad. He failed to make the Browns’ final roster this year, then spent a couple weeks on the Giants’ practice squad.
The Ravens failed to re-sign Tyler Linderbaum this offseason, choosing to rely on veteran Danny Pinter instead. Unfortunately, Pinter suffered a season-ending injury during the preseason, leaving the job to Jovaughn Gwyn. But in Week 3 both Gwyn and his backup, Ethan Pocic, suffered long-term injuries, leaving the Ravens with a huge hole at center.
As for the Lions, they worked out wide receiver Lawrence Keys on Tuesday. If that name sounds familiar, he was one of the four UFL receivers Detroit signed this offseason, along with Tay Martin, Tarik Black, and Lucky Jackson. Keys never really got a chance to make the Lions’ roster, as he was cut with an injury settlement in early August. Now it appears the duration of his injury settlement has elapsed and Detroit may be interested in continuing his development. Or they simply could be checking in on his health from a hamstring injury.
In other Lions-related news, former Detroit safety Tracy Walker saw his suspension lifted from an unknown infraction. Walker received a 12-game suspension for the 2025 season, then another three-game suspension for 2026. He has not been employed by an NFL team since a brief stint on the 49ers practice squad in 2024.
Additionally, former Lions guard Kevin Zeitler visited with the Packers on Tuesday, as Green Bay tries to solve their offensive line issues.
