As NFL training camps are underway, roster moves across franchises are starting to take shape before their first NFL preseason games this weekend.
That is the case for the Detroit Lions as they prepare for a matchup with the New York Giants on Friday night, and one Kentucky Wildcats legend will be joining the team at Ford Field.
After Lions running back Justin Jackson was placed on the Reserve/Retired List on Thursday, the team announced the signing of UK great Benny Snell.
