The Lions elevated linebacker Owen Pappoe from the practice squad to the game-day roster, the team announced Saturday.
The Lions play the Patriots in Germany on Sunday.
Pappoe, 26, signed with the Lions’ practice squad on Nov. 3 after injuries to Jimmy Rolder and Jack Campbell.
A third-round pick of the Cardinals in 2023, Pappoe played for the Titans against the Eagles on Sept. 20. He played 19 special teams snaps in his only action of this season.
He likely will play a special teams role for the Lions on Sunday.
In his career, Pappoe has played 49 games with two starts. He has seen action on 341 defensive snaps and 964 special teams snaps.
