Allen Park — With Golden Tate ailing, the Lions signed wide receiver Jace Billingsley off the practice squad Wednesday. To fill the spot on the practice squad, the Lions re-signed recently waived quarterback Brad Kaaya.
Undrafted out of Eastern Oregon, the 5-foot-9 Billingsley has been productive the past two preseasons, catching 22 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns in the eight games.
“I think he’s one of those guys that works extremely hard,” head coach Jim Caldwell said. “He’s smart, he’s quick and he’s got some talent. He’s looking for an opportunity, trying to create a path for himself and I know he’s excited.
