Allen Park – Most NFL players who don't have a regular role will do anything to get on the field. Even if that means an unorthodox position switch to help the team deal with an injury.
After playing four offensive snaps the first 10 games of the season, Detroit Lions offensive lineman Joe Dahl probably would have offered to handle punt returns if it meant more steady playing time. Things didn’t get quite that dramatic, but while fullback Nick Bellore has dealt with an ankle injury the past few weeks, Dahl has been part of Detroit’s solution at that spot, splitting time with tight end Luke Willson in the backfield.
