Lions pass on Matt Asiata after weekend tryout

The Detroit Lions did not sign free agent running back Matt Asiata after his weekend tryout.

What It Means:

Although head coach Jim Caldwell has never been known for his truthfulness with the media, he indicated the Lions are satisfied with their current backfield stable. "We have a pretty good group of guys," Caldwell said. "We’ll see what happens, but I think overall, we’ve got some pretty good depth there."

Among the 42 running backs to carry the ball at least 100 times in 2016, Asiata's -0.15 Rushing Net Expected Points per carry were third-least.
