Lions move Pacheco to IR, bring Lovett to practice squad as Conklin returns

The Detroit Lions placed RB Isiah Pacheco on injured reserve with a back issue, guaranteeing at least four games out, and filled his roster spot by re-signing TE Tyler Conklin and adding WR Dominic Lovett to the practice squad. With Gibbs and other backs available and a lean WR group on the 53-man roster, Detroit will lean on its depth as Week 1 against the Saints approaches.
