The Detroit Lions are bringing in more reinforcements for the injury-ravaged defense. The team is signing veteran defensive lineman Jonah Williams, as first reported by Tom Pelissero.
Williams is a familiar player for GM Brad Holmes. With the Los Angeles Rams, Holmes was part of the scouting staff that brought in the 6-foot-5, 275-pound Williams as an undrafted free agent back in 2020. Williams played collegiately at Weber State.
Despite being on the Rams practice squad at the time of the Lions signing him, Williams was a full-time starter in Los Angeles last season. He bagged two sacks and 49 tackles while starting 16 games in his third season with the Rams. Williams can play both inside and outside, spending most of his time playing over the offensive tackle. He signed this offseason with the Minnesota Vikings but failed to make their roster out of camp.
Williams adds more help to a Lions defense that has been devastated by recent injuries, including linemen Josh Paschal and Levi Onwuzurike in Thursday’s win over the Bears.
