Allen Park — The Detroit Lions announced 15 practice squad signings Wednesday afternoon, while two others were reported by different outlets. All 15 that were announced were previously part of the team's offseason roster, but the pending signing of quarterback Steven Montez, as reported by the NFL Network, carries the most intrigue.
Montez, a former Colorado standout, is entering his second season after spending most of his rookie year on the Washington Football Team's practice squad.
A three-year starter and one of the most prolific passers in Colorado history, Montez threw for 9,710 yards and a school-record 61 touchdowns.
