Pierschbacher played in three games with the Lions during the 2022 season, when he spent most of the campaign on Detroit’s practice squad before joining the active roster on Dec. 10.

Pierschbacher joined the Lions for his fourth NFL season on Sept. 8 after the New York Jets released him at the end of the preseason.

A four-season starter at Alabama, Pierschbacher earned first-team All-SEC recognition in 2017 while playing left guard and 2018 while playing center.

A fifth-round selection of the Washington Redskins in the 2019 NFL Draft, Pierschbacher has played in 11 NFL regular-season games – five for Washington in 2019, three for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020 and three for Detroit in 2022. He’s been on the field for one offensive snap and 39 special-teams plays.

Pierschbacher spent most of the 2021 season on the Jets’ practice squad.
