The Detroit Lions could be looking for another running back to add to the roster, and Stevan Ridley could be their choice.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that Detroit would host the former New York Jets' and New England Patriots' running back on a visit Tuesday afternoon. Rapoport added that Ridley should be 100 percent two years after having ACL surgery.

Ridley struggled the last two years around injury, only rushing for 430 yards and two touchdowns. He signed with the Jets last offseason, and never got going, playing in only eight games.

Bob Quinn likely knows Ridley inside and out given he was with the Patriots for the running back's entire tenure. At his peak in New England in 2012-2013, Ridley racked up 19 touchdowns and rushed for 2,036 yards, a very solid number.

The Lions are looking for one more runner to help take the pressure off of Ameer Abdullah, and providing Ridley is right, he could be just the player to get that done.
