The Detroit Lions roster for the Week 8 visit from the Miami Dolphins was finalized Saturday afternoon. As is becoming customary, the Lions made a series of roster moves to juggle open spots and injured players around.
Without a kicker on the 53-man roster entering the weekend, the Lions signed Michael Badgley from the practice to the active roster. Badgley has been a practice squad elevation in the last two games. He was perfect on his kicks in Dallas in Week 7.
The Lions did elevate two other players. Wide receivers Maurice Alexander and Stanley Berryhill will be active against the Dolphins.
Detroit also announced they signed rookie DT Demetrius Taylor back to the practice squad. Taylor was waived during the week and did not get claimed by another team.
