Lions Lose Quinton Bohanna to Titans
The Tennessee Titans have signed defensive tackle Quinton Bohanna off of the Detroit Lions' practice squad, according to reports Wednesday.
In a corresponding move, the Lions announced they have re-signed defensive lineman Chris Smith to the practice squad.
Bohanna played the maximum three games for the Lions as a practice squad elevation in 2023. He played in Week 11, Week 12 and Week 13, totaling six tackles in that span.
He was not elevated for Detroit's Week 14 game against Chicago, as practice squad players can only be elevated three times during the season. As a result, the Lions risked losing him by leaving him on the practice squad.
Detroit's defensive line took a hit when tackle Alim McNeill was placed on injured reserve prior to Week 14. Bohanna was believed to be a potential contributor as a result, but the Lions would've had to sign him to the active roster.
Before Detroit, Bohanna spent the last two seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. In that span, he played 27 games with 10 starts.
The Lions made another move last week in signing veteran defensive tackle Tyson Alualu to the practice squad. Alualu is entering his 14th NFL season and provides veteran experience in the event that he is elevated.
Without McNeill in Week 14, the Lions relied on the trio of Brodric Martin, Isaiah Buggs and Levi Onwuzurike to bear the vacant responsibilities.
