The Detroit Lions have signed three-time Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams to their practice squad.
The Detroit Lions are making continued roster adjustments to bolster their injury-depleted defense.
On Sunday, the team announced the addition of three-time Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams to the practice squad.
Adams was selected sixth overall by the New York Jets in the 2017 draft and spent his first three seasons in New York before being traded to the Seattle Seahawks, where he played for four seasons. This offseason, the veteran signed with the Tennessee Titans but requested his release in October.
Over his eight-year career, Adams has recorded 340 tackles, 36 passes defended, and four interceptions.
“It just gives us options,” Head Coach Dan Campbell commented on the signing.
This move is part of a series of roster changes, including the signings of linebacker Kwon Alexander and defensive linemen Jonah Williams and Myles Adams.
Alexander joined from the Denver Broncos practice squad, Williams came from the Los Angeles Rams practice squad, and Myles Adams was signed off the Seahawks practice squad.
The team also placed linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez and rookie defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo on injured reserve with season-ending injuries, while waiving wide receiver Maurice Alexander.
