Detroit Lions sign Germain Ifedi as veteran insurance for offensive line

The Detroit Lions added more depth for their offensive line Tuesday, signing veteran offensive tackle Germain Ifedi, according to NFL Network.

Ifedi, who has starting experience at both right guard and right tackle, was released by the Atlanta Falcons last week. He played in all 17 games for the Falcons last season, primarily on special teams.

A first-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2016, Ifedi started at right guard as a rookie before moving to right tackle in 2017. He spent four seasons with the Seahawks and two with the Chicago Bears before joining the Falcons last year.
