The Lions made a couple of roster moves late Tuesday, activating DE Julian Okwara from injured reserve and placing LB Anthony Pittman on the practice squad COVID-19 List, per the official transaction wire.
Okwara has been out since his Week 6 injury in a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The rookie third-round pick out of Notre Dame has struggled to see the field this year, with the Jaguars game being his first significant action. Okwara will look to reunite with his older brother Romeo on the field Saturday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
