Two of the players who auditioned for the Detroit Lions on Tuesday wound up impressing the team enough to earn a contract on Wednesday. The Lions announced they have added WR Marvin Hall and QB Chad Kanoff to the practice squad.
Hall played for the Chicago Bears during the preseason after being on the Atlanta Falcons’ active roster for the last two seasons. In 24 career games in Atlanta, Hall hauled in 12 passes for 209 yards and two TDs. Hall also served as the Falcons primary kick returner in 2018. He entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Washington.
Kanoff played collegiately at Princeton and spent his rookie campaign of 2018 bouncing between the Arizona Cardinals active roster and practice squad. At 6-4, he’s a good athlete who posted an Ivy League-record completion percentage of 73.2 percent as a senior.
To make room for the newcomers, the team released RB Mark Thompson and WR Jonathan Duhart from the practice squad.
