Plagued by injuries to the defense, the Detroit Lions are signing former All-Pro safety Jamal Adams to the practice squad, ESPN reported Sunday.<\/p>\n

It is expected Adams will be promoted to the 53-man roster at some point.<\/p>\n

Adams’ agent, Kevin Conner, confirmed Adams’ signing.<\/p>\n

Adams began the season with the Tennessee Titans, with whom he signed as a free agent in July. He was released, at his request, in October.<\/p>\n

Adams, 29, began his NFL career in 2017 when he was selected in the first round (No. 6 overall) of the NFL draft by the New York Jets.<\/p>\n

Seattle sent two first-round draft picks to New York in 2020 to acquire Adams, then signed him to a four-year, $70 million contract extension. His action was limited in Seattle due to injuries, and he played just 34 games over four seasons.<\/p>\n

With the Titans, he appeared in three games (one start) and made four tackles.<\/p>\n

In 83 career games (81 starts), Adams has 498 tackles, four interceptions with one touchdown, 36 passes defensed, seven forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries.<\/p>\n

The Lions (11-1) have the best record in the NFC, despite a rash of injuries on the defensive side of the ball. Defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo and linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez are the latest to be out with season-ending injuries, both stricken in the team’s Thanksgiving Day win over the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n
