Lions Make Change At Punter By Signing Ben Graham

As first reported by Adam Caplan, the Detroit Lions made a change at punter on Tuesday. They released Robert Malone, who filled in for the injured Ryan Donahue on Sunday in Chicago, and signed Ben Graham.

Graham is from Australia and has spent most of his career with the New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals. This year, he only appeared in one game with the Cardinals, but now he is getting a chance to fill in for Donahue in Detroit. Donahue missed Wednesday's practice, so it's looking unlikely that he will play on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

In other roster news, the Lions signed defensive end Ugo Chinasa to their practice squad. Defensive end Kyle Moore was signed off the Lions' practice squad by the Bills, so the Lions added Chinasa to fill the vacancy.

Chinasa is a rookie from Oklahoma State who spent training camp with the Carolina Panthers after signing as an undrafted free agent.

Jason Fox Injury Update: Knee Surgery Pending

Jason Fox has not yet played this season, as he was hampered by a broken foot all year long. He was placed on injured reserve earlier today, and it was believed to be that foot injury that caused the decision. Instead, it turns out that Fox had a separate knee injury and will have surgery soon according to MLive:

Fox injured his left knee in college, but sustained an injury to the right knee this week. He expects to have surgery, but said it has not been scheduled yet.

"It happened over time, but it was something that happened yesterday that was kind of the last straw," Fox said. "As a team, we felt it was best to get it taken care of right now."

Fox's injury depletes an offensive line that was already somewhat shorthanded. Fox will not requite full reconstructive surgery, but it is unknown what the exact nature of the injury is.
