As the Detroit Lions continue with their preparations for Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens, general manager Bob Quinn has made a couple of roster moves.

On Wednesday, the Lions announced they have signed defensive end Jeremiah Valoaga to the practice squad and have released linebacker Thurston Armbrister from the practice squad.

Valoaga, who was originally signed by Detroit as an undrafted free agent this past May, has already played in nine games this season, recording five tackles and one sack in a depth player for the Lions. He was just placed on waivers by the team on November 25th.
