On Friday, the Detroit Lions waived kicker Austin Seibert, creating an open spot on the 53-man roster. That turned out to just be one of many moves this weekend for the team. On Saturday, Detroit announced five more roster moves to get them prepared for Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots. Let’s break them down.
First, the Lions placed Quintez Cephus on injured reserve, meaning the receiver will miss at least four games due to a foot injury suffered last Sunday against the Seahawks. Unfortunately, this is the second time Cephus has been placed on IR in as many years.
