The Detroit Lions are shoring up their tight end depth by signing TE Ross Dwelley to the practice squad.
Today's announcement was complemented by the signing of quarterback Malik Cunningham to the practice squad. While Cunningham's signing is likely due to the team preparing for the athletically gifted Lamar Jackson leading up to their Monday Night Football game against Jackson's Baltimore Ravens, Dwelley's signing fits a different objective.
Lions announce roster moves:
Released LB Monty Rice from the Practice Squad.
Placed TE Shane Zylstra on Reserve/Injured.
Signed OL Trystan Colon to the Active Roster from the Practice Squad.
