Lions elevate 2 practice squad players for Dolphins game

The Detroit Lions have elevated edge rusher Anthony Lucas and running back Jabari Small from the practice squad ahead of their Week 9 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. These moves were part of several Saturday roster adjustments after the team ruled out five starters due to injuries on Friday.

In related moves, the Lions placed Jack Campbell on injured reserve and signed cornerback Nick Whiteside to the active roster. Lucas will provide defensive line depth with DJ Wonnum in concussion protocol, while Small adds backfield insurance with Sione Vaki and Jacob Saylors both listed as questionable.
