Lions sign kicker to active roster, waive fullback a day after return from IR
The tough decisions continue for the Detroit Lions, as they have gone through yet another series of roster changes in just under 24 hours.
On Friday afternoon, the team announced they have signed kicker Michael Badgley from the practice squad to the active roster and added offensive lineman Michael Schofield to the practice squad. Along with the addition, the Lions announced a pair of departures as they have released defensive lineman Chris Smith from the practice squad and waived fullback Jason Cabinda.
The decision to waive Cabinda comes one day removed from the Lions activating him from the injured reserve list (IR). With him out of the picture, the Lions still have one roster spot open before they take the field against the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington on Saturday. C.J. Gardner-Johnson and James Houston, both of whom have returned to practice from their respective injuries, are listed as out of action for this week.
