The Detroit Lions have added another veteran wide receiver to the 53-man active roster. It’s a familiar name: Allen Robinson.
Fresh off his Lions debut, in which Robinson played exactly one snap against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3 as a practice squad elevation, Robinson joins the main club in Detroit. The Lions had an opening already after placing EDGE Marcus Davenport and LB Derrick Barnes on injured reserve earlier this week. Robinson joins Tim Patrick in making the move from the practice squad to the Lions’ 53-man roster ahead of Monday night’s game in Detroit against the Seattle Seahawks.
The Lions filled the practice squad vacancy by bringing back linebacker Abraham Beauplan, who was with the team in the latter stages of training camp and the preseason.
