The Detroit Lions and run-stuffing defensive tackle Roy Lopez have agreed to a $4.65 million, one-year contract, according to a person familiar with the deal. Lopez gives Detroit’s defense another tackle with four years of experience, joining veterans Alim McNeill and DJ Reader, to bolster a line that was hit hard by injuries last season. The 27-year-old Lopez started in 16 games last year with the Arizona Cardinals and played in 30 games for them after starting in 19 games over two seasons in Houston.

Lopez will likely serve in a backup role behind DJ Reader, while giving the Lions some insurance at defensive tackle as Alim McNeill recovers from a torn ACL.
