Lions' Kerry Hyder: Staying in Detroit

Hyder (Achilles) re-signed with the Lions on Saturday, Austin Knoblauch of NFL.com reports.

Hyder missed the entire 2017 campaign after suffering a torn Achilles in Week 1 of the preseason, but he recorded 36 tackles (23 solo), eight sacks and one pass defensed in 16 games the season prior. The defensive end was slated to become an exclusive-rights free agent this offseason. If he can regain full health, Hyder should contend for a starting role under new head coach Matt Patricia.
