The personnel shuffling on the Detroit Lions offensive line continued on Thursday with a couple of moves.
The Lions signed tackle Will Holden to the active roster from the team’s practice squad. Holden joined the Lions a week ago in the wake of the injury to left tackle Taylor Decker. Now the fifth-year pro moves up to the 53-man roster to help deal with the injury crunch. He effectively replaces Tommy Kraemer on the active roster.
Kraemer was waived earlier this week, but the undrafted rookie from Notre Dame never left town. He’s back on the Lions practice squad after being inactive in Week 1. Kraemer’s ability to play guard or tackle provided some flexibility, and he’s still got the long-term potential to stick around the active roster the next time he’s signed up.
