Lions Elevate Kingsley Eguakun, Giovanni Ricci for Christmas Day vs. Vikings

The moves exhaust each player's three allowed elevations, forcing a 53-man roster decision if Detroit wants them available for the regular-season finale.

Overview

  • Eguakun earned strong reviews from Dan Campbell after his first NFL start at center against the Steelers.
  • Pro Football Focus credited Eguakun with a 74.7 pass-blocking grade over 71 snaps and a 59.9 overall mark that led Detroit’s offensive line starters in that game.
  • Starting center Graham Glasgow practiced fully this week, though a local reporter suggested Eguakun could still start at Minnesota.
  • Ricci has worked as a rotational tight end the past two games, logging 26 offensive snaps after injuries sidelined Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright.
  • Because this is the third temporary elevation for both players, the Lions must sign either to the 53-man roster to use them in next week’s finale at Chicago.
