Per the transaction report, and as reported by ESPN’s Field Yates, the Detroit Lions have claimed safety JuJu Hughes off waivers from the Los Angeles Rams.
Hughes went undrafted out of Fresno State and joined the Rams in 2020 when Lions general manager Brad Holmes was L.A.’s director of college scouting. He has since played in 19 games over the past two years.
A safety hybrid who began his career as a corner at Fresno State, Hughes started 40 games (played in 52) over his college career and was a team captain as a senior.
