Lions swap practice squad kickers due to Aldrick Rosas’ injury

A weird week on the Detroit Lions injury front took another bizarre turn on Friday. The Lions announced they have placed practice squad kicker Aldrick Rosas on the practice squad/injured reserve list barely a week after signing him.

To replace Rosas, the Lions signed free agent Dominik Eberle to the practice squad. Eberle, 26, has bounced around several NFL practice squads since coming out of Utah State in 2020. He has one game of regular-season experience, making 2-of-3 field goals for the Houston Texans in Week 16 last season.
