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.
Some franchises' best efforts have not led to victory parades or even Super Bowl berths. Because of untimely injuries, unfortunate circumstances, or myriad other reasons, many teams' plans throughout NFL history have not produced the desired result.
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.
