The Detroit Lions announced on Saturday afternoon that they’ve elevated seven players from their practice squad for Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos. Those players are:
- CB Corey Ballentine
- LB Curtis Bolton
- DT Bruce Hector
- RB Craig Reynolds
- CB Nickell Robey-Coleman
- TE Shane Zylstra
- CB Parnell Motley
During a normal week, teams are permitted to promote just two players from their practice squad for a game, but a new temporary rule in the age of COVID allows team to promote an unlimited amount of practice squad players if they are replacing someone who was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
