Detroit Lions promote WR Jace Billingsley IR Theo Riddick

Detroit Lions promote UDFA rookie WR Jace Billingsley to the 53 man roster. Billingsley was an unknown out of Eastern Oregon but impressed during camp and the preseason. He may be in the mix as a return man as Andre Roberts in banged up.

Here is a tribute:

Mr. C hangs with Jace
