Da'Shawn Hand Fantasy Stats

Free-agent defensive lineman Da'Shawn Hand is signing a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. The 29-year-old spent the first four seasons of his career with the Detroit Lions before a two-year stint with the Miami Dolphins. Overall, the Alabama product has compiled 102 tackles (65 solo), five sacks, four forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, five pass deflections, and 11 run stuffs in 62 career games. The Chargers allowed the sixth-most yards per rushing attempt (4.7) last season, so Hand will be tasked with helping L.A. improve its run defense in 2025.

The Detroit Lions are releasing defensive lineman Da'Shawn Hand (groin) off Injured Reserve on Tuesday with an injury settlement, according to a source. Hand should be healthy in a few weeks, though, so he could provide some defensive line depth for a playoff-bound team. The 26-year-old was placed on IR after suffering his groin injury in the Week 11 loss to the Cleveland Browns, and he'll be forced to miss two more games. Nick Williams will see an increased role for the Lions with Hand no longer with the team. Before his injury, Hand had only two combined tackles and a pass defensed in three games played for Detroit.
