The Detroit Lions are banged up at running back, and to help fill the void created by the injuries the team will sign George Winn off the practice squad, per a source.
Winn played in 12 games for Detroit last season, rushing 19 times for 73 yards. He also had a strong special-teams presence and is expected to fill the same role this season.
Winn came out of seemingly nowhere to impress the Lions during training camp in 2014, earning a practice squad spot and an eventual promotion to the 53-man roster after injuries.
