The Detroit Lions made an extra roster move on Tuesday to get down to 84 players by the 4 p.m. ET deadline. They only needed to get down to 85, so it’s no surprise that they are also adding a new face to the team. According to his agent—via ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler— quarterback Jordan Ta’amu is signing with the Lions on Tuesday.
That news is probably not great for Tim Boyle, who suffered an injured ankle during Friday’s preseason game against the Bills. Though Boyle finished the game, he did not participate in practice on the following Monday and was spotted wearing a brace around his ankle.
