Detroit made a trio of additions on Friday, including rounding out its backfield depth chart after waiving undrafted rookie Anthony Tyus a day earlier.
Small is interesting. Not that he is going to challenge for a roster spot and even a PS spot is a long shot, it's more about what kind of runner he is and why they would want him.
With the ages of Montgomery and Reynolds it makes sense they want to be taking a look at young power runners, but that's not Small, he is more in the Gibbs and Vaki lane and those two are not going anywhere any time soon. This says they like what they have seen in the power runner Kye so far, he might have a PS spot locked up.
But what Small can give you are some practice reps testing the LB depth in coverage.
90-man roster construction is much more than just finding players that can challenge for spots. You want to develop players and developing LBs coverage skills is pretty critical for this team.

Lions have been loading up on candidates for the Name HoF this season.

I need DiCaprio Bootle to make the team. My enjoyment will be elevated if the announcers say his name.
I hear his game is pure a**
Yep, we need him on the practice squad at least.
