Dahl, a second-year offensive lineman, was the team's top backup on the interior OL

At one point this spring, it looked like Joe Dahl might be the Lions' left tackle to start the season. Now, the second-year offensive lineman is headed to injured reserve.

The Lions placed Dahl on IR Tuesday to open a roster spot for former Grand Valley State lineman Tim Lelito.

Dahl was limited during practice last week by a lower leg injury, and inactive for Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
