Detroit Lions sign German-born defensive tackle

Related Topics: Detroit Lions, David Bada

The Detroit Lions announced on Thursday afternoon that they have signed defensive lineman David Bada. It’s a noteworthy addition for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Bada is a German-born player who has been a part of the NFL’s International Pathways Program since 2020. Since then, he has been on and off the Washington Commanders for the past four season. There he made just two game appearances: back-to-back games to close out the 2022 season, logging 27 defensive snaps and two tackles. He missed the entire 2023 season after tearing his triceps in training camp last year.
