Overview
- The Lions announced Saturday that they elevated linebacker Owen Pappoe from the practice squad to the active/inactive list for Sunday’s Week 10 game against the New England Patriots in Munich.
- Pappoe joined Detroit’s practice squad on November 4 after earlier roster changes and is a veteran special‑teams player with 49 NFL appearances and 66 combined tackles from stints with Arizona and Tennessee.
- Detroit placed starters Jack Campbell and rookie Jimmy Rolder on injured reserve and on November 4 added linebackers K.J. Britt and Joe Bachie to the active roster to replace lost depth.
- Sunday’s game kicks off at 9:30 a.m. ET on FOX at Allianz Arena and Detroit has already ruled out Kerby Joseph, Cade Mays, and D.J. Reed for the matchup.
- Pappoe’s elevation is meant to bolster special teams and provide emergency linebacker cover but does not guarantee defensive snaps and could shape the Lions’ final inactive decisions announced before the game.
