The Detroit Lions made a few roster moves on Monday, marking the second day in a row that they have had to make some significant changes. Most notably, the Lions waived/injured receiver Antoine Green and signed quarterback Jake Fromm. Coach Dan Campbell gave an explanation of the team’s decision on Monday evening, stating that they felt this was the best course of action for Green, who sustained a concussion and a possible neck injury in the preseason opener against the New York Giants. “Yeah, that is something that we certainly had a number of doctors look at his scans and we felt like this was the best thing on our end and needed to do this,” Campbell said.
That is its current state. It was not what we wanted to do. We adore the child; he works hard and is dedicated, but that injury is difficult.
Green will return to the Lions’ injured reserve list if he clears waivers. Although he might make a comeback this season, Detroit would have to wait a defined period of time before re-signing Green and make an injury compensation offer to him.
Regarding Fromm—whose signing was required because second-year quarterback Hendon Hooker had a concussion—Campbell mentioned that they were pleased with the way he handled himself in the pocket.
He is a sharp, conceited man. We believe he will be able to lead the offense really quickly.
sufficient to be able to go out and assist us when necessary,” Campbell remarked. “He can predict every throw, and given our current situation, we thought he might step in and contribute. We believe he can be useful in the pocket, and he was happily available. He worked out today, and it seemed to go well, so we will see how it develops.
Fromm has only appeared in three NFL games, all in 2021 while playing for the Giants. With the Washington Commanders across three preseason games last year, Fromm completed 28 of 41 passes for 261 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception.
