On Thursday, the Detroit Lions announced on two roster moves ahead of their first official practice of Week 4. First, veteran wide receiver Allen Robinson was signed to the active roster, while linebacker Abraham Beauplan was signed to the practice squad.
After sending Derrick Barnes and Marcus Davenport to injured reserve and signing wide receiver Tim Patrick earlier this week, the Lions still had an open spot on the roster, which will now be occupied by Robinson.
Robinson was signed to the Lions' practice squad following cutdowns, as they searched for more depth at wide receiver, specifically a player capable of playing in the WR-X role.
