The Detroit Lions tweaked the 53-man roster ahead of the Week 11 matchup with the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars. On Saturday, the Lions signed one player from the team’s practice squad and elevated another for Sunday’s game.
The Lions signed linebacker Ezekiel Turner from the practice squad. Detroit had a roster opening after placing LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin on I.R. ahead of Week 10. Like Reeves-Maybin, Turner is a special teams backer.
With starting TE Sam LaPorta out for Week 11, the Lions also elevated veteran James Mitchell from the practice squad to help flesh out the tight end depth chart. Mitchell has been on the practice squad all season.
