Re: Detroit Lions need a placekicker
Suisham is on Dallas' practice squad. If Detroit is willing to put him on their active roster (which I assume they would), they could definitely take him off that squad. However, by being on that practice squad he'll obviously not be able to make their open tryouts.bgsufan1972 wrote:Heard on the radio this morning where the Lions will be auditioning place kickers because of the pulled hammy to Jason Hanson.
