Lions Sign Two Players for Defensive Depth

The Detroit Lions improved to an impressive 11-1 with a Thanksgiving victory over the Chicago Bears, but the win came at a cost as they suffered multiple injuries, particularly to their defense. In response, the Lions signed former Steelers linebacker Kwon Alexander and defensive tackle Myles Adams from the Seahawks' practice squad to bolster their roster. Alexander's acquisition follows Malcolm Rodriguez's season-ending torn ACL, leaving the Lions in need of depth at linebacker. Meanwhile, Adams, who had a disappointing performance with Seattle, may not significantly impact the team but opens opportunities for younger players like Mike Morris. Additionally, the Lions signed defensive lineman Jonah Williams off the Rams' practice squad as they continue to address their injury woes. With these signings, Detroit aims to maintain its position as a top contender in the NFC.
