In an attempt to find Jared Goff another solid option, the Detroit Lions signed two veteran wide receivers to their practice squad. The Lions are currently shorthanded at wide receiver, with only two players on the roster: Isaiah Williams and Kalif Raymond. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams are the other two in the group.
Tom Kennedy, the team’s fifth member, was promoted from the practice squad for Week 1. To support the offense, it is anticipated that Tim Patrick, Allen Robinson, or Donovan Peoples-Jones will be called up from the practice squad in the future. In response to a question about whether Patrick would make his debut soon, Campbell mentioned the constant competition amongst all the possibilities to determine which would be best for the depth of receivers on the squad.
All of those guys are competing. When you’re on the vet squad, every day you put in the work and our eyes are open,” Campbell said. “I told them all that last week, so we’re paying close attention to him, Robinson as well. All our options are on the table and we’ll just take it as it comes.”
