The Detroit Lions announced two more roster moves on Tuesday as they continue to prepare for Saturday’s preseason game with the Kansas City Chiefs. They have waived linebacker DaRon Gilbert with an injury designation and signed cornerback Essang Bassey.
On Monday, Campbell hinted that Gilbert was dealing with an injury suffered during Sunday’s practice.
“DaRon got hurt yesterday. He got a little tweak, so that’s why the need for the linebacker position to come in, we need all the help we can get there,” Campbell said.
In the past week, the Lions have signed several linebackers to help a room struggling with injuries.
