Lions to sign K.J. Britt as linebacker injuries mount
Head coach Dan Campbell announced the move with Jack Campbell hospitalized and Jimmy Rolder ruled out for the season.
K.J. Britt will move from the Patriots’ practice squad to the Lions’ active roster, head coach Dan Campbell told 97.1 The Ticket. The planned signing follows injuries to multiple Detroit linebackers during a win against the Vikings.
A neck injury has left Jack Campbell hospitalized. Jimmy Rolder injured his hamstring during the same play, ending his season.
Britt’s only game appearance for New England this season produced one tackle. His previous experience includes 17 games with the Dolphins in 2025 and 59 with the Buccaneers during his first four NFL seasons.
Across his career, Britt has recorded 162 tackles, including four for loss, along with a half-sack.
