Detroit Lions Sign Veteran Safety Jamal Adams to Practice Squad

The Lions bolster their injury-hit defense by adding the former All-Pro safety, with plans to elevate him to the active roster.

Jamal Adams, a three-time Pro Bowler and former All-Pro safety, has signed with the Detroit Lions' practice squad and is expected to join the 53-man roster soon.
The Lions, holding the NFC's best record at 11-1, are addressing significant injuries to their defensive lineup as they prepare for the season's playoff push.
Adams, 29, was released by the Tennessee Titans in October after playing just 20 defensive snaps this season, following a history of injuries in recent years.
Detroit's defense has been severely impacted by injuries, with multiple starters, including Mekhi Wingo and Malcolm Rodriguez, sidelined for the rest of the season.
Analysts suggest Adams could be utilized in a hybrid safety-linebacker role, potentially contributing to Detroit's defensive depth as they aim for postseason success.
