The Detroit Lions receiving corps will look bigger in the team’s Week 3 match with the Arizona Cardinals. The Lions elevated two veteran wideouts with some size to the active roster from the practice squad.
Tim Patrick and Allen Robinson earned the elevations for the game in Arizona. It’s the second week in a row that Patrick will be elevated. He caught two passes for 12 yards in Detroit’s Week 2 loss to the Buccaneers.
Robinson will be making his Lions debut. The 31-year-old was added to the practice squad shortly after roster cutdowns.
They immediately become the two largest receivers on the Detroit offense. Robinson is listed at 210 pounds at 6-foot-2, while Patrick is 6-foot-4 and 212.
No other roster moves were made, meaning Tom Kennedy will not be active for the first time this season.
