The road back to relevance for former Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams has taken him to the Motor City. On Sunday, it was announced that Adams would sign with the Detroit Lions' practice squad with the expectation of being placed on the Lions' active 53-man roster. This message was reported by .
It's been a turbulent time for the former All-Pro safety. Injuries blighted his final years in Seattle, eventually leading to his release from the team. Adams tried to get back on track in Music City by signing with the Tennessee Titans but it didn't work in the south.
Adams was underused in Tennessee's struggling defense, playing just 20 total defensive snaps in three games. His frustration over the lack of playing time eventually ended with him which the Titans granted.
Now this is Adams' fourth NFL home and third in two seasons. It makes sense why Detroit would take a chance on a three-time Pro Bowler since their defense has been decimated by injuries this year. Detroit has a high record of 11-1, but that comes at a price. The Lions have a staggering 14 players either on injured reserve or officially out for the remainder of the season. Adams may not be what he once was, but he's a healthy body, and that's something Detroit clearly doesn't have in abundance right now.
