Allen Park — The Detroit Lions continued a busy week of shaping the team's roster ahead of the regular season with another flurry of moves Thursday.
Those transactions were headlined by quarterback Tim Boyle and defensive lineman Da'Shawn Hand being transitioned to injured reserve, creating room to re-sign tight end Darren Fells and safety Dean Marlowe, who were both released a day earlier in procedural moves.
Boyle suffered a broken thumb in the preseason finale and had the issue surgically addressed on Monday. The NFL Network reports he'll be out of action for up to two months.
