The Detroit Lions’ kicking carousel has picked up another passenger.
The Lions signed veteran kicker Sam Ficken to their practice squad Tuesday, a week after they bypassed signing him following a workout.
Ficken is the sixth kicker the Lions have employed since training camp as they try and solve kicking game problems that date back to their decision not to re-sign Matt Prater as a free agent in 2021.
