Lions sign LB Thurston Armbrister, move G Zac Kerin to IR

Jarrad Davis has made considerable strides in getting himself field-ready for tomorrow’s game against the Vikings, but he’s still questionable leading up to Sunday’s game.

Steve Longa, an important contributor on special teams, is dealing with the tragic and unfortunate passing of his father on Thursday.

The Lions could be short on linebackers come Sunday, especially on special teams, so the team made a move to promote Thurston Armbrister from the practice squad, signing him to the main roster.

Last season, Armbrister was forced to play in a pinch while Detroit dealt with a myriad of injuries to their linebacker corps.
