The information was discussed in some detail by SB Nation’s Detroit Lions site Pride of Lions. In that article, writer Chis Lemieux explains the complicated roster move. Longa was signed to the practice squad prior to the start of the season. He was activated last week, and another player was signed to the practice squad.
