The Detroit Lions have signed linebacker Anthony Pittman to their active roster after a string of injuries on defense.
Amidst a string of peculiar injuries on the defensive side of the ball, the Lions have signed Jaguars practice squad linebacker Anthony Pittman to their active roster. This marks a reunion for Pittman, who initially joined the Lions after college. Pittman was originally signed as an undrafted rookie by the Lions in 2019.
During his time with the Lions (2019-2023), Pittman played in 52 games, recording twelve tackles (five solo) and one forced fumble while serving as a key contributor on special teams. In March, Pittman signed with the Washington Commanders and spent the 2024 training camp with them. Prior to the NFL, the Beverly Hills, Mich., native played five seasons with Wayne State (2014-2018) where he appeared in 43 games for the Warriors and recorded 181 tackles (120 solo), 31.5 tackles for loss, 8.0 sacks, three passes defensed, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery, the Jaguars said in a release when they signed Pittman after Week 5. To fill the vacancy on the practice squad, the Jaguars signed former Florida State Seminoles linebacker Kalen DeLoach to the practice unit. DeLoach originally signed with Tampa Bay as an undrafted rookie following the 2024 NFL Draft and spent time on the team's practice squad. Prior to the NFL, he played at FSU from 2019-2023. Across five seasons with the Seminoles, DeLoach appeared in 55 games and recorded 212 tackles (112 solo), 26 tackles for loss, 11 passes defensed, 11.0 sacks, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery returned for a 56-yard touchdown
