The Detroit Lions sign veteran safety Jalen Mills to their practice squad, according to reports. The move comes after Avonte Maddox suffers a season-ending injury, leaving Detroit in need of additional depth in the secondary.
The articles describe the same transaction: Mills is re-signed to Detroit’s practice squad rather than added to the active roster. Both outlets frame the signing as a response to Maddox’s absence and as a way for the Lions to bolster their defensive backfield as the season continues.
While the coverage is brief, the consistent points across sources are that Mills is returning to Detroit, that the roster change is linked to Maddox’s injury status, and that the team’s action involves practice-squad depth rather than an immediate promotion to the 53-man roster.
