ALLEN PARK -- The kick-off between kickers Matt Prater, Jay Feely and Connor Barth will be the big workout of the day for the Detroit Lions.

But the Lions are hosting more than kickers.

Detroit also will try out a pair of cornerbacks, including Curtis Marsh according to the Baltimore Sun and Ellis Lankster according to ESPN.

The Lions have suffered several injuries to their secondary, where cornerbacks Bill Bentley and Nevin Lawson have been lost for the season and Cassius Vaughn hasn't played since Week 2 due to an ankle injury. He's expected to return soon, after practicing last week.

Lankster played in two games for the Jets before getting released last month, but only one snap on defense. The 5-foot-9, 190-pounder played 15 games each of the two previous seasons for New York, including recording 39 tackles, six passes defended and two interceptions in 2012.

Marsh, a former third-round pick out of Utah State in 2011, has played in 26 games in four seasons with the Eagles and Bengals. The 6-1, 197-pounder played two games last season for the Eagles.

The Lions worked out Marsh last year as well, under former coach Jim Schwartz, but did not sign him.
