Lions Promote Bachie, Tinker With Practice Squad Ahead of Week 1 vs Saints
Detroit promoted linebacker Joe Bachie from the practice squad to the 53-man roster to boost depth and special teams, while Seth McLaughlin and Jabari Small returned to the practice squad and Mason Miller was placed on the practice squad injured reserve. One 53-man spot remains open, with Tom Kennedy as the leading candidate to fill it—likely serving as punt returner and a fourth/fifth wide receiver, though his Week 1 roster status could affect guaranteed money.
