The Lions announced the deal but didn't disclose financial terms.

Buggs said Monday he "always wanted to be back" rather than explore free agency.

"We're going to build something great here and I want to be a part of it when it happens," he said.

Buggs, 26, had 46 tackles, one sack and a forced fumble in 17 games (13 starts) for the Lions in 2022, his first season in Detroit.

He has 77 career tackles in 46 games (20 starts) with the Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers (2019-21), who selected him in the sixth round of the 2019 draft.
