Pittman is joining the Lions off the practice squad of the Jacksonville Jaguars.<\/p>\n<p>This is a reunion for the Lions as Pittman, 28, spent the first five seasons of his career with them from 2019-23. He appeared in all 54 games for Detroit over the last three seasons (regular season and playoffs), though mainly on special teams. Pittman then signed with the Washington Commanders in March before being waived in August and had spent most of the 2024 season on Jacksonville\u2019s practice squad.<\/p>\n<p>The 12-2 Lions badly need the help defensively right now with Alex Anzalone, Malcolm Rodriguez, and Jalen Reeves-Maybin among their linebackers currently on injured reserve. That is just the tip of the iceberg too as Detroit suffered several more key defensive injuries just last weekend alone. As such, Pittman should hopefully be able to step right in for them.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"mlb2-3567457\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<section id=\"featured\">\n<h2><\/h2>\n<div>\n<article>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<article>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Detroit Lions are reuniting this week with a former linebacker amid of their rash of defensive injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6925,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6924","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 -
