The Detroit Lions have been decimated by injuries on the defensive side of the ball. Thankfully, Detroit is starting to get healthier. But in the meantime, they had to sign some players to plug and play while their regulars were recovering. One player the Lions signed was veteran defender Jamal Adams, who made his debut last week against the Green Bay Packers.
Adams played eight snaps for Detroit after signing with the team. He had one tackle and helped create pressure during his first snap of the contest. That play ended with Za’Darius Smith sacking Jordan Love. The Lions went on to win 34-31 to move to 12-1 on the 2024 season.
Detroit has another huge matchup on the ledger against the Buffalo Bills this Sunday. Before that, Adams took time to reflect on his journey back to the field. And he revealed a phone call he had with former Detroit star Quandre Diggs. Adams and Diggs played together with the Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans this season.
“I reached out to him like, ‘Man, I’m going to the Lions!’ He thought it was a hell of an experience, and a hell of an opportunity for me, and said there’s nothing but great people around here,” Adams said, via 97.1 The Ticket’s Will Burchfield. “And I was like, ‘Man, I wish you could experience it with me.’ He was The Guy here, you know what I mean? He grew up here, he was drafted here and he deserves to be around a winning culture, for sure. But he’s definitely excited for me, man.”
