Detroit Lions sign former special teams ace to replace Bobby Price
The Detroit Lions lost one of their best special teams players to a season-ending knee injury last week. On Tuesday, they added one of their former special teams aces to take his place.
The Lions signed safety C.J. Moore off the Houston Texans practice squad to their 53-man roster, one of three moves they made Tuesday.
Moore takes the place of Bobby Price, who suffered a season-ending knee injury during a walk-through last week.
Price led the team in special teams snaps at the time of his injury. Moore was one of the Lions' best special teams players in 2019-21, but was waived-injured at the end of training camp.

The Lions also signed safety J.R. Reid to the practice squad and released defensive tackle Bruce Hector from the practice squad.
They had one open spot on their 53-man roster after waiving return man Maurice Alexander on Monday.
