Key Points:
- The Detroit Lions have signed linebacker Joe Bachie from the practice squad to the 53-man roster, adding depth to their linebacker group ahead of Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints.
- Seth McLaughlin (center) and running back Jabari Small have been signed to the practice squad after initially making the 53-man roster but being waived for roster flexibility.
- Mason Miller, who impressed as an emergency center during preseason, has been placed on the practice squad injured reserve and will miss at least four games.
- The Lions still have one open spot on the 53-man roster, likely to be filled by wide receiver Tom Kennedy, who is expected to contribute as the starting punt returner and a depth receiver.
- Kennedy’s contract situation may delay his official roster addition until after Week 1, as his contract would become fully guaranteed if on the roster for the season opener.
