The Detroit Lions are signing safety Damontae Kazee to the practice squad, NFL Network reported Monday.

The 32-year-old veteran has played in 111 NFL games with four teams, including four with Cleveland this season.

The Lions (8-5) lost starting safety Brian Branch to a torn Achilles in last Thursday's win against the Dallas Cowboys.

Kazee topped the NFL with seven interceptions for Atlanta in 2018 and has 17 career picks and 363 tackles for the Falcons (2017-20), Cowboys (2021), Pittsburgh Steelers (2022-24) and Browns (2025).

Detroit faces a tough closing stretch with three of four games on the road, starting Sunday at the Los Angeles Rams (10-3).
