The Detroit Lions announced on Friday morning that they have signed free agent nose tackle Miles Brown. The third-year defender will take the open roster spot left by the release of Reggie Gilbert earlier this week.
Brown gives the Lions some depth at the nose tackle spot, which may be needed. John Penisini left Wednesday’s practice early, but it’s unclear why or if he’s dealing with an injury. That left rookie third-round pick Alim McNeill to take the rest of nose tackle reps with the first and second teams.
Brown played his college football at Wofford and originally signed with the Arizona Cardinals after the 2019 NFL draft.
