All of the injuries across the Detroit Lions defense have led to the addition of several recent reinforcements. The Lions have signed seven new defensive players in the last couple of weeks.
Between all the comings and goings from the Lions roster, it can be hard to keep up with who is on the field at times. In that spirit, here are the jersey numbers of all the recent defensive additions to the Lions roster, including the practice squad players who might be called up to play in Week 14 against the Packers.
LB Jamal Adams – 25*
DL Myles Adams – 66
LB Kwon Alexander – 10
LB David Long – 43
S Kaevon Merriweather – 27*
LB Ezekiel Turner – 47
DL Jonah Williams – 78
*indicates currently on the Lions practice squad
Update: Not long after publication, the Buccaneers signed Merriweather off the Lions’ practice squad.
