Lions Sign Ugo Chinasa To Practice Squad

by Sean Yuille on Nov 15, 2011 7:47 PM EST in Detroit Lions Interviews

The Detroit Lions added defensive end Ugo Chinasa to their practice squad today, according to Dave Birkett. A spot opened up after defensive end Kyle Moore was signed off the Lions practice squad by the Buffalo Bills, and the Lions opted to fill it with another DE.

Chinasa is a first-year player from Oklahoma State. He spent some time with the Carolina Panthers this summer before being let go during the final round of roster cuts.

Moore joined the Lions practice squad in early September. He was previously with the Tamp Bay Buccaneers, which let Moore go during the final round of roster cuts.

In other practice squad news, the Kansas City Chiefs added former Lions linebacker Caleb Campbelll today. He joins their practice squad after being on the open market ever since the Indianapolis Colts let him go from their practice squad after two weeks in September. He was picked up by Indy after the Lions let him go during the final round of roster cuts.

Question?

Because he was on our practice squad do we get a pick from the team that signed him?

Hear the mighty sound of a lions roar!

Ugo Chinasa's a good project end, corollaries to Avril if he can improve his pass rush ability.

I remember wishing we’d pick him up as a UDFA.
