Allen Park, Mich. – The Detroit Lions announced today that they have signed LB to the team’s active roster from the practice squad and activated DE Armonty Bryant from the exempt list.
Longa, who joined the Lions practice squad in September, was originally signed by Seattle as an undrafted rookie free agent this past offseason. The 6-0, 241-pound linebacker started all 37 games he played in for the Scarlet Knights during his three-year career at Rutgers (2013-15).
Bryant (6-4, 265) signed with the Lions earlier this week and enters his fourth NFL season following a three-year career with the Cleveland Browns (2013-15).
