The Detroit Lions announced a pair of practice squad elevations prior to their showdown against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game. Fullback Jason Cabinda and offensive lineman Michael Schofield have been elevated from the practice squad for Sunday's game.
Many teams have made missteps regarding a separation from a head coach or coordinator. Some have been straight firings, others de facto dismissals described as mutual separations.
The Detroit Lions made some moves on Tuesday, but they apparently weren't done for the week. On Thursday they released guard Michael Schofield from the practice squad and signed cornerback Craig James to that open spot.
