Lions Sign Terrence Toliver To Practice Squad, Release Casey Bender

The Detroit Lions have made another change to their practice squad. On Tuesday, they signed wide receiver Terrence Toliver, who worked out for the team last week, and released offensive tackle Casey Bender.
Toliver entered the NFL this year as an undrafted free agent from LSU. He spent some time with the Houston Texans but was let go in September after suffering an injury. He has now found a spot with the Lions as one of two receivers on the practice squad (Nate Hughes is the other).
Bender joined the Lions practice squad before the start of the regular season after being let go by the Indianapolis Colts during the final round of NFL roster cuts. With Detroit adding a ninth offensive lineman to the team with the Leonard Davis signing, the Lions likely decided it wasn't necessary to keep two offensive linemen on the practice squad (offensive guard Jacques McClendon is still on the practice squad). If an injury happens, extra depth is already on the roster with Davis on the team.

I know its only a practice squad addition
But I like it.
We dropped a Tackle
but left a guard on the PS because of the Davis signing? That doesn’t seem to compute. My guess is they simply were not impressed with Bender.
Someone is alive today simply because I can't afford a hitman.
It might have to do with Jason Fox being healthy at the moment.
The coolest Lion nickname ever belongs to Dick "NIGHT TRAIN" Lane.

Great pick up
I was surprised he went undrafted. He has the tools to be a solid possession receiver. Maybe next year a guy who can line up opposite Calvin as a jump ball threat.
just pass me the damn ball

hmm
Keep in mind he had the opportunity to prove that he could do that with Andre Johnson but they cut him.

Haynesworth is available!
Hahaha… Might as well sign him too!!
I can see them getting him, it will be cheap too
I’m sure gun can slap him around till he’s motivated
He will be signed
as “Team Food Taster”

I like that idea
I hear Leonard Davis had weight issues in the past, so we should assign him a Designated Feeder. Albert would love that job. All he would have to do is munch down double cheeseburgers all day long and we would get Davis back into Pro Bowl shape in no time.

I like the addition to the PS...
had him coming to us with one of the later picks but after getting Young in the second didnt make much sense. I think if he s around next year he could make a case to be on the roster. Imagine him CJ and Stovall all 6 5 in the redzone with Schef and Petti that is alot of height.

thought this was only for special teams
but reading comments seems like the man can play. hopefully he isn’t needed because that would probably mean an injury to someone currently on the team

HEY SEAN
Write up something about the Dec. 4th game, I bet the NFL Moves the Lions/Saints game to the Sunday Night slot now!!!! Lets lobby for it, we’ll whoop them on national TV
Doubt it will happen.
The Indy-Pats game will go back to CBS, so they’ll probably move another CBS game into the NBC spot. My guess right now would be Bengals-Steelers if the Bengals are still riding high.
No slogans. Just win!!!
