The Detroit Lions are preparing to bolster their roster before training camp, with reports indicating that they plan to sign veteran linebacker Ben Niemann. Details of the deal have not been disclosed yet. Niemann previously played with the Broncos last season, appearing in seven games where he primarily contributed on special teams and recorded two tackles. Before his time with the Broncos, Niemann played for the Chiefs and Cardinals, where he saw more action on defense and started in 21 out of 86 games, totaling 237 tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble, and six fumble recoveries. He also made 26 tackles in 11 postseason games with the Chiefs.
Throughout his career, Niemann has shown versatility and a solid track record on the field. His experience on both special teams and defense makes him a valuable addition to the Lions’ roster as they prepare for the upcoming season. With his proven ability to contribute in various roles, Niemann brings a wealth of experience and skill to the team, which will undoubtedly strengthen their linebacker corps and overall defensive lineup. Lions fans can look forward to seeing Niemann in action as he joins the team for training camp and beyond.
