Bishop signed a deal with the Lions on Tuesday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Released by the Jets in early June, Bishop will provide some depth at middle linebacker following Nick Bellore's transition from middle linebacker to fullback. He saw action in just five games for the Jets last season and will likely need to impress the coaching staff in training camp to guarantee his spot on the 53-man roster.

Bishop was waived by the Jets on Wednesday, Randy Lange of the Jets' official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop has started the last two seasons on the Jets' practice squad, but ultimately was promoted to the active roster both times. Most recently during the 2017 campaign, Bishop saw action in five games and tallied 10 tackles. However, with the Jets signing safety J.J. Wilcox, they needed to make room on the roster, which resulted in Bishop's release. If he clears waivers, Bishop will look to latch on elsewhere prior to the start of training camp.

Bishop suffered an ankle injury in Sunday's game against the Raiders and is questionable to return.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop had not recorded a tackle before exiting Sunday's contest, and if he is unable to return, Dylan Donahue will be expected to serve as the primary reserve outside linebacker.

Bishop signed onto the Jets' practice squad, Eddie Greenburg of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bishop took many first-team snaps throughout the summer, but don't be fooled, he wasn't going to be much more than a depth linebacker.

Bishop (neck) played 43 snaps during the team's preseason dress rehearsal Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Don't let the reps fool you, Bishop is still considered to be a depth linebacker on this defense. It's good to see him healthy though having fully recovered from the neck injury that was bothering him over the last several weeks.
