Lions elevate second kicker off practice squad, re-sign WR Kennedy

Cleveland — After making a change at kicker during the week, the Detroit Lions will enter Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns with two options at the position.

On Saturday, the team temporarily elevated veteran Aldrick Rosas off the practice squad. He will be a second option, along with Riley Patterson, who Detroit signed off the New England Patriots practice squad on Tuesday.

Unlike Patterson, an undrafted rookie who has never kicked in a regular season game, Rosas brings experience to the table. He's appeared in 58 games across five seasons with three franchises, successfully converting 71 of his 90 field goal attempts, with a long of 57 during a Pro Bowl campaign for the New York Giants in 2018.
