With Kenny Golladay and Jamal Agnew battling injuries, the Detroit Lions signed a reinforcement for their wide receiver room Friday, adding Mohamed Sanu to the practice squad.
Sanu has played for four teams in his nine-year career and appeared in three games with the San Francisco 49ers earlier this season. He had one catch for 9 yards with the 49ers, after being released by the New England Patriots at the end of training camp.
The Lions are shorthanded at the receiver position heading into Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.
Both Golladay (hip) and Agnew (ribs) left last week's loss to the Indianapolis Colts with injuries, did not practice this week and are not expected to play Sunday.
