The Detroit Lions can’t hide running back Craig Reynolds anymore. After a stellar performance in Denver, the Lions have elected to add Reynolds to their protected practice squad in Week 15, an honor he will likely hold the remainder of the season—unless promoted to the active roster. When a practice squad player is protected for the week, that simply means he cannot sign to another team’s active roster.
Additionally, injuries and positive COVID-19 results continue to rock the Lions' secondary. On Monday, the Lions placed starting corner Jerry Jacobs on injured reserve with a torn ACL, as well as nickelback Corey Ballentine on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
