The Detroit Lions placed Sammie Hill on injured reserve today with a foot injury and signed Jimmy Saddler-McQueen off the practice squad.
Hill already had been ruled out of Sunday's season finale against the Chicago Bears because of an injury he suffered in last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
The Lions are severely short-handed at defensively tackle with Nick Fairley (shoulder) and Corey Williams (knee) already on IR. Hill, who made 15 tackles and started three games this year, will be an unrestricted free agent after the season.
Saddler-McQueen appeared in one game with the Dallas Cowboys in 2010.

Last offseason, the Lions reportedly offered defensive end Cliff Avril, who was coming off a monster 2011, a three-year deal worth $30 million. Avril rejected the deal, and the Lions ended up franchise-tagging him, paying him $10.6 million for 2012.

Chicago is in a must win game here, but that doesn’t mean that this means more to them. The Lions would love nothing more here than to play spoiler and eliminate a division rival.
