Tyson Alualu Joining Lions Roster

12 months ago

Veteran free-agent defensive lineman Tyson Alualu is signing with the Detroit Lions on Tuesday. Alualu was selected in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars and spent seven seasons with the organization. He then joined the Pittsburgh Steelers and played there for six years. Overall, the 36-year-old has totaled 416 tackles, 25 sacks, four forced fumbles, and 15 passes defended in 191 career games. The Lions have allowed the sixth-fewest rushing yards per attempt this season, but stellar defensive tackle Alim McNeill (leg) is dealing with a leg injury.
