Fresh off losing Greg Joseph to the New York Giants active roster, the Detroit Lions have added a new kicker to the team’s practice squad.
The Lions announced they signed kicker Matthew McCrane to the opening on the practice squad roster. The 30-year-old McCrane hasn’t kicked in the regular season since 2018, though he has bounced around several practice squads and training camps in the stead.
McCrane takes over for Joseph as the veteran mentor and aide to the precocious Jake Bates, who remains perfect through his first two NFL games.
