Lions Sign Anthony Pittman from Jaguars

News summary

The Detroit Lions have signed linebacker Anthony Pittman from the Jacksonville Jaguars' practice squad to address significant injuries in their defense, particularly in the linebacker unit. Pittman, who originally played for the Lions from 2019 to 2023, adds depth and is expected to contribute mainly on special teams, which has been his primary role throughout his career. His return comes as the Lions face a challenging situation with six defensive starters injured, including key players like Aidan Hutchinson and Alim McNeill. The Jaguars have filled Pittman's vacated spot on their practice squad with Kalen DeLoach, a former Florida State linebacker. This move reflects the Lions' urgent need for healthy players as they approach a critical point in the season. Pittman’s previous experience with the team may help him integrate quickly into their defensive schemes.
