Lions place Halapoulivaati Vaitai on I.R. among Week 11 roster moves
Our Summary
The Detroit Lions have placed offensive guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai on injured reserve, suggesting that his time with the team may be coming to an end. Vaitai has been dealing with a back injury that has kept him out of the last two games and was the same issue that caused him to miss the entire 2022 season. The 30-year-old only made three starts in 2023. In addition to this move, the Lions made changes to their practice squad, releasing running back Devine Ozigbo and cornerback Anthony Averett, and signing offensive lineman Michael Schofield and cornerback Kindle Vildor. Detroit also has one spot open on their 53-man roster, which is expected to be filled by long snapper Jake McQuaide.
