The Detroit Lions are reportedly set to sign a speedy linebacker to their practice squad, according to a report from SB Nation's Jeremy Reisman on Wednesday.

The move comes as the Lions continue to build depth at the linebacker position during the 2026 NFL season. Specific details about the player's identity and contract terms were not immediately disclosed in the initial report.

Practice squad signings are common throughout the NFL season as teams manage roster flexibility and develop talent for potential elevation to the active roster.
