The Detroit Lions announced on Wednesday that they have signed defensive lineman Christian Covington.
Covington is an eight-year veteran, and the Lions will be the sixth team in his career. At 6-foot-2, 300 pounds, Covington is capable of playing anywhere along the defensive line, though he does the majority of his work in the interior. He does his best work as a run defender, as he only has 9.5 career sacks and 21 QB hits.
Over the course of his eight-year career, Covington has played in 102 games and started 32 (including 14 in 2020 with the Cincinnati Bengals).
