On Saturday, the Detroit Lions signed quarterback David Blough to the active roster, freeing up a spot on the practice squad, that was filled on Monday with the signing of defensive tackle Albert Huggins.
On Tuesday, the Lions opened up another spot on the practice squad, announcing the release of wide receiver/quarterback Joe Webb.
Webb has a unique skill set of being able to play in the slot and in the backfield, but when the Lions signed gadget player Victor Bolden to the practice squad last week, it appeared Webb’s days were numbered.
The Lions have done quite a bit of practice squad shuffling as of late and with an open spot on the current roster, it’s not likely going to end anytime soon. It’s unclear if the Lions are signing another player and thus needed to make room today, or if they are planning on other internal adjustments — keep in mind they have several players potentially returning from injured reserve and may need to move players around.
