Lions activate Joe Dahl from IR, promote David Blough from practice squad

The Detroit Lions made a flurry of moves on Saturday in preparation for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Most importantly, the Lions activated offensive lineman Joe Dahl from the injured reserve list. This means he’ll almost certainly start on Sunday, whether it be at center if Frank Ragnow cannot play or at left guard, where he started the season. The Lions chose not to elevate Beau Benzschawel from the practice squad, so he will not be an option to play center.

Additionally, the Lions made a bit of a surprising move, elevating quarterback David Blough to a spot on the 53-man roster.
