Lions Set Initial Practice Squad

September 6th, 2020 at 2:58pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

The Lions have announced their initial practice squad in a release, with Detroit adding 16 players to the unit:

G Beau Benzschawel
QB David Blough
WR Victor Bolden
S Jalen Elliott
DT Frank Herron
WR Tom Kennedy
TE Isaac Nauta
LB Anthony Pittman
S Bobby Price
P Arryn Siposs
DT Kevin Strong
CB Dee Virgin
G Kenny Wiggins
RB Jonathan Williams
LS Steve Wirtel
DE Jonathan Wynn

Blough was an undrafted rookie from Purdue last year who ended up starting five games after injuries to Matthew Stafford and Jeff Driskel. The offseason addition of Chase Daniel made Blough expendable, but he’ll serve as the third quarterback.

Wiggins has been in the league since 2012, and he has extensive starting experience. He’s started 13 games for Detroit over the past two years, and will probably be the first guy getting called up if there are offensive line injuries. Williams carried the ball 49 times for Indy last year, but he’ll have a tough time getting any snaps now that the Lions have also added Adrian Peterson.

Lions Sign 7 Undrafted Rookies

April 29th, 2020 at 8:48am CST by Zachary Links

This week, the Lions added seven more rookies to their incoming class:

TE Hunter Bryant, Washington
S Jeremiah Dinson, Auburn
S Jalen Elliott, Notre Dame
S Bobby Price, Norfolk State
FB Luke Sellers, South Dakota State
P Arryn Siposs, Auburn
LS Steven Wirtel, Iowa State

Heading into the draft, Bryant was pegged as an early Day 3 type of prospect by most analysts. When teams passed on him due to medical concerns – including his history of knee injuries – the Lions swooped him up with $60K in guaranteed cash. Bryant will fight for his place on the tight end depth chart, somewhere behind T.J. Hockenson and Jesse James.

Dinson, meanwhile, fetched an $80K guarantee between his $30K signing bonus and $50K base guarantee (Twitter link via Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle). He’s also a worthwhile name to watch. The Auburn product has experience at both nickel and safety with four interceptions over the course of his collegiate career.
