After an important season for the Detroit Lions, former Miami Hurricane defensive edge Al-Quadin Muhammad resigns for a one-year deal to stay in the motor city per Adam Schefter.

Last season, he reunited with coach Dan Campbell after getting drafted in the 2017 season to the New Orleans Saints. The Lion's defense was decimated last season and Muhammad was a key addition to the depleted group.

Originally signed to the practice squad on October 7, Muhammad would play in nine games for the and make two starts. He finished the season with 11 tackles, 3.0 sacks, a pass defended, and five quarterback hits.
