Detroit Lions activate CB Darryl Roberts, downgrade D'Andre Swift ahead of Sunday's game

The Detroit Lions made a flurry of moves on Saturday to address some depth issues heading into Sunday's game with the Chicago Bears.

Hurting at cornerback, with Desmond Trufant landing on injured reserve and rookie Jeff Okudah previously ruled out with a shoulder injury, the Lions got some reinforcements by activating Darryl Roberts off IR.

Roberts had been battling multiple injuries when he was initially placed on the injured list early last month.

Also down multiple options at defensive tackle after Danny Shelton went on the shelf with a knee injury and Da'Shawn Hand still sidelined by a groin strain, the Lions promoted Frank Herron off the practice squad.
