According to several reports, the Detroit Lions have signed Jace Billingsley from the practice squad, and the young receiver is now a part of the active 53-man roster.

The news essentially confirms what we already suspected: Golden Tate is very unlikely to play this week, as he continues to recover from a shoulder injury suffered during the Saints game. According to a report from NFL Network, Tate suffered an AC joint sprain that will keep him sidelined for a few weeks. Tate was also seen sporting a sling over the weekend.
