The Detroit Lions have been active in reshaping their roster, placing Marcus Davenport and Derrick Barnes on injured reserve due to injuries. Davenport's torn triceps is likely season-ending, while Barnes faces an unspecified recovery period for his knee.
Additionally, safety Ifeatu Melifonwu has also been placed on injured reserve, leaving the Lions with 52 players ahead of their game against the Seattle Seahawks.
To bolster their lineup, the Lions signed wide receivers Tim Patrick and Allen Robinson, both of whom have had limited appearances this season. Key players like center Frank Ragnow and cornerback Ennis Rakestraw are also dealing with injuries, impacting the team's preparation for the upcoming matchup.
