Lions agreed to terms with S Christian Izien, formerly of the Bucs, on a one-year contract.

12 March 2026

Izien started 10 games for the Bucs in 2024. He was credited with just one start in 2025 and his tackle total fell from 75 to 25. He did, however, pick up more work on special teams. Izien will likely continue to play a mix of defense and special teams in Detroit.
