Detroit Lions bolster linebacker depth with roster moves

The Detroit Lions have made several transactions to strengthen their linebacker corps following injuries to Jimmy Rolder and Jack Campbell. The team promoted Joe Bachie from the practice squad to the active roster and signed K. J. Britt from the New England Patriots’ practice squad to the active roster.

Additionally, the Lions signed Owen Pappoe to the practice squad. Bachie, who has previously moved between the practice squad and active roster this season, is expected to provide positional versatility. Britt, a veteran in his sixth NFL season, brings experience from previous stints with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Miami Dolphins and is expected to contribute to both defensive rotations and special teams.
