Detroit Lions release LB, sign OL prior to season opener. T Storm Norton to the active roster.

The Lions signed OT Storm Norton off the practice squad and released LB Nick Bellore. Norton had a good start to training camp while the Lions dealt with injuries at tackle. This promotion could mean reserve OT Corey Robinson is not quite ready for game work yet since he missed all preseason on the PUP list. Something to watch when inactives are announced tomorrow.

Lions inactives: OL Corey Robinson, CB Teez Tabor, RB Zach Zenner, OT Storm Norton, OL Zac Kerin, RB Tion Green, WR Jared Abbrederis.

Kenny Golladay is active for the Lions. Was questionable this week, but should be good to go. Be wary in fantasy, though. TJ Jones might get a good amount of No. 3 WR reps ahead of him.

A couple of IDPs to consider adding: Ezekiel Ansah (11.8 percent owned): He's active for the Lions, and averaged 4.9 fantasy points per game in the second half of 2016 using our rankings' scoring system. Haason Reddick (3.0 percent owned): With Deone Bucannon inactive, Reddick should see an uptick in snaps played.

Both TJ Jones and Kenny Golladay are getting first-team work as the No. 3 WR in warmups. As mentioned before, they are both going to play. Golladay might get more red zone work (but that could be 2 WR and Eric Ebron, too) but I would avoid both Jones and Golladay in fantasy today.

Lions have a moment of silence for victims of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma prior to national anthem.

Matthew Stafford's pick six throw looked like it came on a timing route with Golden Tate that was off. Tate got held up crossing the middle of the field, leading to an easy pick. Tate appeared frustrated by the contact -- but within five yards.

Matthew Stafford's first pass of the season (and first pass since signing his record deal) results in a pick-6. Stafford threw one pick-6 all of last season (Week 14 vs Bears).

Rookie Jamal Agnew getting the first punt return. Decent return, too. He won the overall battle with a bunch of candidates.

Lions punter Kasey Redfern, after taking a huge hit on the botched punt run, getting looked at by trainers on sideline.
