Pappoe joins a group of linebackers that features starters Derrick Barnes, Trevor Nowaske, and Malcolm Rodriguez. Amid Jack Campbell being placed on injured reserve and Jimmy Rolder's season-ending injury, Joe Bachie was recently signed to the Lions' active roster.
Detroit also signed K.J. Britt to its active roster off the Patriots' practice squad as part of a trio of roster moves before
the Lions faced the Dolphins.
A 6-foot-1, 225-pound linebacker, Pappoe was originally a 2023 fifth-round pick by the Arizona Cardinals out of Auburn.
Pappoe has appeared in 50 career games with two starts, totaling 66 tackles, five passes defended, one forced fumble, and one quarterback hit.
The 26-year-old began this season with the Titans, but he was waived on Sept. 26. After clearing waivers, the Titans signed Pappoe back to their practice squad. But, Pappoe was waived from the Titans' practice squad on Oct. 6.
