He signed on with the Commanders as an unrestricted free agent in 2024 but was cut coming out of the preseason. Pittman went on to join the Jaguars practice squad in October before the Lions signed him, once again, in December.

In 2024, Pittman appeared in one game for the Jaguars and three games for the Lions, recording three tackles and one pass defense.

In 2025, Pittman has appeared in one game for the Lions and recorded one total tackle.
