Per usual, the Detroit Lions made a flurry of moves on Saturday in preparation for their Sunday game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Unfortunately, it starts with some bad news for seventh-round pick Chase Lucas, who was placed on injured reserve, essentially ending his rookie season. Lucas popped up on the injury report midweek with a hamstring injury, and although it didn’t look like a serious injury (he was in jersey standing on the sidelines Thursday), the Lions have decided to shut him down for at least the next four games. With only five games left in the regular season, it seems unlikely he’ll return until Year 2.
