The Detroit Lions have had to do a lot of maneuvering this week with all the injuries they have going on. Chase Lucas, Kayode Awosika and Zonovan Knight have all been moved to the Lions 53 man roster. That opened up some spots to fill on the practice squad.
The Lions worked out seven players on Tuesday and they wound up signing two of them along with two familiar names. Those names being running back Devine Ozigbo, who spent the summer with the Lions, and fan favorite Dan Skipper. The tackle is coming in for his fourth stint with the Lions.

Phillips is a local guy. He grew up in Detroit and played his college ball at Western Michigan. He was drafted by the Bengals in the 5th round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He's had other stops with the Raiders, Broncos and Texans.
Phillips has played 56 regular season games in the NFL and he's started 10 of them. He could be a nice depth piece if the Lions need to call him up.
Mitchell Agude is an undrafted rookie that originally got pick up by the Dolphins. He was All Pac-12 at UCLA in 2021 before transferring to Miami for his senior year. I think the Lions are just hoping to see what they can get out of him.
