Lions sign QB Steven Montez to the practice squad
.........
Good decision by Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell in re-signing Steven Montez to the Lions Practice Squad.
Though the Lions Offensive system has changed substantially in 2022 with Ben Johnson being promoted to Offensive Coordinator, the transition for Steven Montez should be less than it would be for the vast majority of other QBs. Montez has familiarity with Lions coaches, many of the playeirs, the team facility, and Greater Detroit in general. Montez very likely doesn't have a long term future as a Lions player. But what's needed in the remainder of this season regarding a 3rd QB with the Lions is someone who can help the team prepare for games in practice and in case the Lions need a 3rd QB in case of injuries.

Lions add LB Julian Stanford to the practice squad
.........
It's good to see Julian Stanford back with the Lions, this time with the team's Practice Squad.
Julian Stanford played his college ball with Wagner College, which is on the NYC Borough of Staten Island. This is the College that my late Dad got his Undergraduate Degree at. Former Eagles and Jets HC Rich Kotite also attended Wagner College.

An additional sidenote, the nickname of Wagner College is the Seahawks. They had this nickname long before the Seattle Seahawks first season (1976).
