The Detroit Lions have elevated long snapper Jake McQuaide from the practice squad for their Week 10 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. Because this is a standard elevation, McQuaide will revert back to the Lions practice squad following the conclusion of this week’s game.
This was an anticipated move from the Lions as McQuaide is the only healthy long snapper remaining on the roster after Scott Daly was placed on injured reserve following a knee injury suffered during their previous game.
With Daly’s injury requiring surgery, he is expected to miss some time and the Lions will likely need McQuaide to fill in beyond just this week.
