Faced with an acute shortage of EDGEs thanks to injuries and illness, the Detroit Lions added one from the practice squad to the active roster for Sunday’s Week 8 matchup with the Tennessee Titans.
The Lions elevated veteran Al-Quadin Muhammad for the game with the Titans. It will be Muhammad’s first time playing in a Lions uniform, though the 29-year-old has played in 84 NFL games and started 34, mostly with the Indianapolis Colts. Head coach Dan Campbell indicated on Friday that Muhammad would get called up for this game.
Detroit also elevated tight end Shane Zylstra for the second week in a row. No. 84 played three offensive snaps in the Week 7 win over the Vikings.
