The Detroit Lions announced on Tuesday morning that they have re-signed linebacker Josh Woods. Contract details were not released by the team.
Woods was set to become a restricted free agent next month after the Lions poached him from the Chicago Bears’ practice squad in late September. Prior to landing in Detroit, Woods had played for three years in Chicago, almost exclusively as a special teamer.
After the Lions added him, Woods provided some important depth when the Lions parted ways with veteran linebacker Jamie Collins Sr. early in the year.
