ALLEN PARK -- Fresh off his release from the New England Patriots, wide receiver Dontrelle Inman will reportedly visit the Detroit Lions.

The visit will take place “in the next day or so,” as first reported by the NFL Network. Inman was released by New England in the aftermath of receiver Josh Gordon’s reinstatement by the NFL after violating the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy.

ESPN reported Sunday that the six-year pro successfully requested his release from the Patriots organization. The interest from Detroit comes after Inman worked out for the team back in March before eventually signing with New England on a one-year deal in May.

Inman has played for the Los Angeles Chargers, Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts since 2014. The receiver went undrafted in the 2011 NFL Draft out of Virginia and spent two seasons with the Toronto Argonauts -- winning the CFL’s Grey Cup in the process -- before signing with the Chargers.

The 6-foot-3 receiver’s top year came in 2016 when he started all 16 games for the Chargers, posting 58 catches for 810 yards and four touchdowns. Inman spent last season with the Colts where he had 28 catches for 304 yards and three touchdowns across nine games.

In two playoff games with the Colts in 2018, he posted eight catches for 108 yards and one touchdown.

As it stands, the Lions have 11 wide receivers vying to make the 53-man roster. Jermaine Kearse went down with a broken leg and ankle injuries in the team’s first preseason game against the Patriots and was placed on injured reserve.
