Muhammad joined the Lions\u2019 practice squad last October, nearly a month and a half after his release from the Dallas Cowboys \u2014 where he participated only in training camp.<\/p>\n<p id=\"KXC62W5NAVHOJEQ53LGHSKBRME\">In Detroit, Muhammad became a key part of the Lions\u2019 defensive line rotation. Over nine games, including two starts, he recorded 11 tackles \u2014 four for a loss \u2014 along with eight pressures, five quarterback hits, three sacks, and one forced fumble. He also logged 19 snaps on special teams.<\/p>\n<p id=\"WB2XZ5DKCRAZHMB4YBLSWKDHQY\">With a full offseason program and training camp in Detroit, Muhammad could develop into an even more valuable piece under new defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard and new defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers.<\/p>\n<p id=\"YR5KTFEGCFCUVDT5SR2BDTP6SE\">Muhammad joins Marcus Davenport, Levi Onwuzurike, and Pat O\u2019Connor as some of the key depth pieces the Lions have retained along the defensive line this offseason.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2NKFFJ7ARVDLXADQQZMFBWASDQ\">The former Miami (Fla.) standout entered the NFL as a sixth-round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints, where he briefly crossed paths with then-tight ends coach \u2014 and now his head coach in Detroit \u2014 Dan Campbell.<\/p>\n<section><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad will stay with the Lions, signing a one-year deal to remain in Detroit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":18017,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-detroit-lions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
