The Lions desperately need warm bodies on defense right now, but veteran safety Jamal Adams couldn’t stay in Detroit.
Adams was released from the Lions’ practice squad today.
Adams is only 29 years old and a former first-team All-Pro, but this could represent the end of his career. The injury-plagued Lions defense can’t afford to cut anyone who can play right now. The only conclusion is that the Lions believe Adams simply can’t play anymore.
After barely playing for the Titans earlier this season, Adams got a second chance with the Lions, but was only on the field for 20 defensive snaps in two games with Detroit. Now he will be a free agent and will hope to convince a team to take a chance on him in 2025.
