After losing their kicker to the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week, the Detroit Lions added a long snapper and punter for special teams insurance to their practice squad among a string of moves Saturday.
The Lions placed defensive tackle Kevin Strong on injured reserve after downgrading him from questionable to out for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens earlier in the day.
Strong suffered a brain injury in the Lions' season-opening loss to the San Francisco 49ers and also was dealing with a thigh injury.
The Lions elevated practice squad kicker Ryan Santoso to the 53-man roster — Santoso is expected to handle kicking duties Sunday after the Lions placed Austin Seibert on reserve/COVID on Thursday — and signed long snapper Beau Brinkley and punter Lachlan Edwards to the practice squad.
