With roster cutdowns taking place yesterday at 4 p.m. ET, players that were left without a job are now free to sign with any team as a free agent. That also includes signing to a team’s practice squad. According to the Detroit Lions official page on X, former Pittsburgh Steelers WR Allen Robinson II signed to their practice squad.
Over the last 10 years, the practice squad rules have relaxed to allow more veterans. Robinson is entering his 11th season in the NFL, so he currently benefiting from the revised practice squad rules.
The Lions only had four wide receivers on their initial 53-man roster, so it is no surprise they added Robinson, along with Tim Patrick and Tom Kennedy to their practice squad.
