Lions Boost Defense with Za'Darius Smith Amid Browns Trade Moves

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell expressed enthusiasm about acquiring defensive end Za'Darius Smith from the Cleveland Browns, highlighting Smith's toughness and ability to enhance the team's pass rush. The Lions sought Smith to bolster their defense following Aidan Hutchinson's injury, as they struggled to maintain pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Smith, who has recorded five sacks and 27 pressures with the Browns, is expected to be a valuable addition to the Lions' defensive line.
