Lions sign DE James Houston to active roster, place Charles Harris on IR
Lions rookie James Houston picked a great time to have an impactful NFL debut. After bagging two sacks of Bills All-Pro QB Josh Allen in his first game, Houston found his way onto the Lions active roster.
The Lions signed Houston to the active roster after the reverted to the practice squad. The sixth-round rookie from Jackson State played in Week 12 as a practice squad elevation, his first time being active for a regular season game.
There was room for Houston on the 53-man roster due to an injury. DE Charles Harris was placed on the IR with an ongoing ankle injury. Harris hasn’t played since seeing 10 snaps in the Week 10 win over the Bears.
