Lions make pair of Wednesday roster moves before Jets game - Lions Wire

The Detroit Lions announced a pair of Wednesday roster moves, signing center Seth McLaughlin to the team's active roster and re-signing Joe Bachie to the practice squad.

Bachie was released when the Lions signed rookie safety Bishop Fitzgerald off the Pittsburgh Steelers' practice squad on Tuesday.

McLaughlin made the Lions' initial 53-man roster, but was waived several days later. Detroit then re-signed McLaughlin to its practice squad on Sept. 7.

The Lions signed McLaughlin to a Reserve/Future contract back in January. A former member of the Bengals, the 6-foot-4, 304-pound center did not see any game action as a rookie in 2025.

Detroit signed Bachie last April ahead of its offseason program. A seven-year pro, Bachie initially entered the league as an undrafted free agent.

Bachie has appeared in 66 games for the Philadelphia Eagles, Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts, and, most recently, the Tennessee Titans. During those 66 games, Bachie made seven starts, registering 77 tackles (38 solo), 4.5 stuffs, and two passes defended.
