ALLEN PARK -- With the pandemic limiting teams to just five tryout players during rookie minicamp, the Detroit Lions elected to roll with no offensive tackles so they could use all five spots on guys they actually wanted to evaluate.

All three went undrafted in previous seasons and have spent the bulk of their careers on practice squads.

Taumoepeau went undrafted out of Portland State last year before spending time on practice squads in Dallas, Indianapolis and San Francisco.

cbsnews.comIn coronavirus lockdown, Californians take the high road and get cannabis delivered
Facing isolation and rising stress because of the novel coronavirus, Californians are buying more cannabis products, especially for home delivery. The state, which legalized recreational cannabis in 2016, has imposed a stay-at-home order to prevent the virus spread, and many people fear going out because of the infection risk. As a result, cannabis sales for delivery are booming. Last month, as the coronavirus lockdowns went into effect, sales of recreational cannabis across key U.S. markets, including California, Colorado, Oregon, and Alaska, were up almost 50% from the same period last year, according to cannabis point of sale and data platform Flowhub. Kazan said although sales of cannabis flower have remained steady, sales of edibles such as gummies, brownies and chocolates are becoming increasingly popular, probably because they are easier to store and tend to last longer.
