The Detroit Lions made some roster moves on Wednesday, claiming linebacker Trevor Nowaske off waivers, officially rounding out their 53-player roster. Nowaske, who originally signed with the Lions as an undrafted free agent in 2023, spent some time on the team’s practice squad last season. He got a chance to play in two games on special teams, getting on the field for a total of 35 snaps.
After a brief stint with the Arizona Cardinals, Nowaske finds himself back with the Lions, ready to make an impact on the field once again. It’s always interesting to see players return to their old teams, with new experiences and skills under their belt.
In addition to Nowaske, the Lions also announced the addition of 15 players to their practice squad, including veterans like Tim Patrick and Allen Robinson. Patrick’s signing was already making headlines, especially after being released by the Denver Broncos. It’s clear that the Lions are looking to add depth and experience to their squad, with hopes of strengthening their roster for the upcoming season.
Both Patrick and Robinson are expected to make contributions to the team, with at least one of them likely to be called up to the game day roster in Week 1. Robinson, a seasoned 10-year veteran, brings a wealth of experience to the team, having amassed an impressive 562 career receptions for 7,028 yards and 43 touchdowns. His back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2019-20 while playing for the Chicago Bears are a testament to his talent and skill on the field.
But the Lions didn’t stop there. In addition to Patrick and Robinson, they also announced the signings of several more players to their roster, including linebacker Mitchell Agude, center Kingsley Eguakun, quarterback Jake Fromm, running back Jermar Jefferson, offensive tackle Jamarco Jones, wide receiver Tom Kennedy, tight end James Mitchell, safety C.J. Moore, defensive linemen Pat O’Connor, Kyle Peko, Chris Smith, and Isaac Ukwu, as well as tight end Shane Zylstra.
It’s clear that the Lions are making moves to bolster their roster and set themselves up for success in the upcoming season. With a mix of veteran experience and fresh talent, the team is looking to make a statement on the field and compete at the highest level. Only time will tell how these new additions will impact the team, but one thing is for sure – the Lions are ready to roar in the upcoming season.
