As defensive injuries continue to mount for the Detroit Lions, the team has made another move to strengthen their defense. According to Tom Pelissero, the Lions are signing veteran defensive lineman Jonah William from the Los Angeles Rams’ practice squad. Williams will immediately join the Lions’ 53-man roster.
This decision comes as the Lions face a wave of defensive injuries and aim to maintain their playoff push. Although Williams has seen limited playing time this season, he brings much-needed depth to a defensive line that has been ravaged by injuries in recent weeks.
Who is Jonah Williams?
Jonah Williams, a product of Weber State, has appeared in seven games in 2024, recording three tackles, including one for a loss. While his role with the Rams has mostly been as a depth player, his experience on the defensive line will help the Lions, especially as they navigate a series of injuries to key players.
With the defensive front needing reinforcements, the Lions hope Williams can make an immediate impact, providing the necessary depth to keep their defense competitive. This signing is part of the team’s ongoing effort to adapt and strengthen their roster in the face of adversity as they look to finish the season on a strong note
