The Detroit Lions claimed safety Juju Hughes from the waiver wire on Monday, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. Hughes has played in 19 games for the Los Angeles Rams over the last two seasons, making five tackles in seven appearances in 2021. Hughes played in 29 defensive snaps this season but was mostly used on special teams and was waived on January 8th.
Hughes now heads to the Lions, with the move being deferred until after the Super Bowl has been played.
