The Detroit Lions signed three-time Pro Bowl safety Jamal Adams this week, weeks after Adams requested his release from the Tennessee Titans. Adams has been one of the best safeties in the National Football League since being drafted out of LSU with the sixth pick of the 2017 NFL Draft by the New York Jets.

Detroit Lions are currently without 4 of their 5 LBs due to injury: Malcolm Rodriguez, Alex Anzalone, Derrick Barnes and Jalen Reeves-Maybin.

On Friday, another significant ailment hit the position. Linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez suffered a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season, according to reports. Rodriguez becomes the fourth player at the position to suffer a significant injury.
