The Detroit Lions have a new kicker, and it was not one of the four they worked out on Tuesday.
The Lions signed veteran kicker Michael Badgley to the practice squad, one day after he was released by the Chicago Bears.
NFL Network first reported the signing.
Badgley scored every Chicago point in the Bears’ 20-12 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday. He played as a fill-in for kicker Cairo Santos, who missed the game for personal reasons.
Badgley has spent time with four other NFL teams: The Los Angeles Chargers, Indianapolis Colts, Tennessee Titans and Jacksonville Jaguars.
