At an impromptu Thursday press conference to discuss LB Jamie Collins being on the trade block, Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell announced that the team was signing LB Josh Woods off the Chicago Bears practice squad. The team has not officially announced the move, so there is no corresponding move at the time of publishing.
“We also signed Josh Woods,” Campbell said. “We got him from the practice squad of Chicago. So there’s a chance he comes in and helps us on special teams right now. He also provides depth at linebacker.”
Woods went undrafted out of Maryland in 2018, where he played strong safety, but after a position switch and a tryout with the team, he impressed enough to earn a contract.
