The Lions are dealing with some injuries in the middle of their defense and Alualu should help to solidify the unit.
Alualu, 36, is a former first-round pick of the Jaguars back in 2010. He played out his rookie contract with the Jaguars before returning to the team on a two-year, $6 million contract in 2015.
He eventually departed Jacksonville in 2017 and agreed to a two-year, $6 million contract with the Steelers. Pittsburgh then re-signed him to another two-year deal.
In 2022, Alualu appeared in 17 games and made two starts for the Steelers, recording 13 tackles, a half sack and a pass defense.
