Lions elevate S Brady Breeze and TE Garrett Griffin for Week 16

The Detroit Lions, as they do most every week, bolstered the depth chart a little in advance of Saturday’s game. Safety Brady Breeze and tight end Garrett Griffin were elevated from the team’s practice squad to the active roster for Detroit’s Week 16 game against the Carolina Panthers.

The moves correlate to the Lions injury report. Safety DeShon Elliott and fullback Jason Cabinda have been ruled out for the game. Breeze can help provide depth in the secondary and on special teams, while Griffin is the closest thing to a fullback the Lions have to replace Cabinda.

The Lions departed early for Charlotte due to the inclement weather.
