The Detroit Lions continue to add depth to the secondary, signing former Tampa Bay Bucs cornerback Myron Lewis.

A third-round draft pick out of Vanderbilt in 2010, the 6-foot-2, 203-pound Lewis was released by the Bucs on Thursday. In three seasons in Tampa, he appeared in 28 games, starting just one. Limited mostly to special team work, he tallied 19 tackles and three pass breakups.

Lewis has had trouble staying on the field during his professional career, dealing with ailments ranging from an ankle sprain to a hamstring strain.

In three seasons at Vanderbilt, he racked up 166 tackles, 10 interceptions and 35 pass breakups. He was named to the All-SEC second team in 2009, his final season at the school.

At the NFL combine, he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.52 seconds.

The Lions will announce a corresponding release this afternoon to clear room on the roster for Lewis.
