This past season, Marlowe logged 67 tackles in 16 games (including nine starts) with the Lions. The 29-year-old gives the Falcons some added depth and experience at safety, but he'll need to secure a starting role in order to find himself on the IDP radar in 2022.

Lions' Dean Marlowe: Entering season in backup role
Rotowire
Marlowe will enter the season in a backup role after Will Harris won the starting job at strong safety, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Marlowe rotated first-team reps with Harris throughout the offseason before Harris pulled away with the starting role during the preseason. While he likely won't see enough playing time to be relevant in IDP leagues, Marlowe should at least serve in a rotational role for Detroit this year.

Rotowire
Marlowe is in the mix for a starting role at safety, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Coming to Detroit from Buffalo, the soon-to-be 29-year-old was the Bills' third safety in 2020 behind two excellent players in Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer. After he and Will Harris reportedly rotated reps with the first-team defense next to Tracy Walker during OTAs and minicamp this offseason, Marlowe now appears to have a chance at becoming a starter with the Lions.

Marlowe and the Bills parted ways in early October after he received a spot start for the team just a day prior, but he landed in the practice squad and now gets a late-season promotion. He's been brought back on with a pair of players in the secondary dealing with injuries. Still, he shouldn't serve as much more than a depth option.

Rotowire
Marlowe (hamstring) participated in the entirety of the Panthers' OTAs, Bryan Strickland of the team's official site reports. "This is the first time I actually put on a helmet since September," Marlowe said. "But adversity can be key -- you just have to bounce back and keep pushing. I'm so happy to be out here healthy and performing on the field."
Marlowe spent nearly his entire rookie season on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury, but he now appears to be back to 100 percent. The second-year James Madison product picked off a few passes in front of reporters during OTAs and seems to be making a strong case for the No. 2 strong safety job behind Kurt Coleman.
