Eze spent all of 2022 with the Lions as an undrafted rookie from TCU. He did not make the final roster cutdown and has remained unsigned since.

Mims was acquired by the Lions in an offseason trade with the New York Jets. He suffered a lower leg injury in training camp and was waived with injury designation. After going unclaimed on waivers, Mims took an injury settlement from the Lions.
