The Detroit Lions announced on Saturday afternoon two practice squad elevations for their Divisional Round playoff game against the Washington Commanders. Both defensive tackle Chris Smith and cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver are active from the practice squad and will revert back to the practice squad after the game.
In addition to these roster moves, the Lions announced that rookie cornerback Ennis Rakestraw has not yet been activated from injured reserve, and therefore, he has been downgraded to OUT for Saturday night. His practice evaluation window is still open, so a return next week is possible if the Lions are still alive in the playoffs.
