After losing a pair of wide receivers to injury last week, the Detroit Lions signed Andre Roberts on Monday.

A six-year veteran, the 5-foot-11 Roberts was a third-round draft pick for the Arizona Cardinals in 2008. After four productive seasons in the desert, he signed a four-year deal with Washington.

After two disappointing campaigns with the Redskins, which saw Roberts catch just 47 passes in 25 games, he was released last month.

In addition to his receiving ability, Roberts also offers return skills. He's handled both punts and kickoffs during his career.

The signing brings the Lions' roster back up to 90 players, following Friday's release of Corey Washington. The team is also coping with an injury to Corey Fuller, who had foot surgery last week.

Beyond adding Roberts, the Lions are also hosting three-time Pro Bowler Anquan Boldin for a visit on Monday, according to multiple reports.

In the twilight of his career, the 35-year-old Boldin has continued to remain highly productive. In 2015, his 13th season, he hauled in 69 passes for 789 yards and four touchdowns for the San Francisco 49ers.

For his career, Boldin has amassed 1,009 receptions, 13,195 yards and 74 scores. He's one of just 13 receivers in NFL history to catch at least 1,000 passes.
