Lions Sign Michael Badgley To Active Roster

11 months ago

The Detroit Lions signed kicker Michael Badgley from their practice squad to the 53-man active roster on Friday. In corresponding moves, the team waived fullback Jason Cabinda, signed offensive lineman Michael Schofield to the practice squad and released defensive lineman Chris Smith from the practice squad. It solidifies Badgley's role as the Lions' primary field-goal kicker for the final two regular season games and the playoffs. The 28-year-old has made his only field-goal attempt and nine of his 10 extra-point tries in two games since taking over for Riley Patterson. The Dallas Cowboys, the Lions' Week 17 opponent, have been pretty generous to opposing kickers in the last five weeks, but overall in 2023 they've been a bad matchup for the position. Fantasy managers should have better options than rolling out Badgley in championship matchups.
