While the Lions don't have a major need or health concern at the DT position with Alim McNeill and Tyleik Williams, adding healthy backups is always a good idea. That's what the team did with the re-signing of Myles Adams.
Here is the excerpt of my medical report on Myles Adams :
(The following information and analysis is based on available public information. Age in parentheses is at start of 2026 season.)
Myles Adams, DT (28)
Contract: 1 year, $1.145M
Concern level 1/10
-
2025: 0 games played
-
2024: 8 games
-
2023: 11 games
-
2022: 11 games
-
2021: 2 games
Adams appears to be medically clean in his career. He's been lightly used recently having spent all last season on the Lions ' practice squad.
Age is getting close to 30 but isn't much of a concern on a 1-year deal. He should provide healthy depth to the Lions defensive line if needed.
