Lions Sign Linebacker Damone Clark

Detroit turns to a former Cowboys starter for proven special-teams value.

Overview

  • The Lions announced the signing on their X account on March 18, 2026.
  • Clark, a 2022 fifth-round pick out of LSU, returned from spinal fusion surgery to appear in 10 games as a rookie.
  • He started every game for Dallas in 2023 before a reduced defensive role in 2024 led to a midseason waiver.
  • Houston claimed him and deployed him primarily on special teams, where he logged 131 snaps with a 78.7 Pro Football Focus grade.
  • He joins Detroit as depth at linebacker and a special-teams contributor, with roughly $6.16 million in career earnings reported by Spotrac.
