Lions sign CB AJ Parker and WR Maurice Alexander among Week 5 roster moves

Saturday was once again a busy one on the Detroit Lions roster front. The day before the Lions face the New England Patriots in Week 5, Detroit signed two players from the practice squad to the active roster.

The Lions signed WR Maurice Alexander and CB AJ Parker. Alexander played as Detroit’s kick returner in Week 4 as a practice squad elevation. Parker was Detroit’s primary slot CB last year but has been on the practice squad throughout the 2022 season thus far.

One of the roster vacancies came from waiving K Austin Seibert on Friday. The Lions created another by placing WR Quintez Cephus on IR. Cephus injured his foot in the Week 4 loss to the Seahawks.

Detroit also elevated CB Saivion Smith and K Michael Badgley from the practice squad for the week. It’s the first practice squad elevation for both players.
