Lions Make Seven Moves Including Placing WR DJ Chark On IR

The Detroit Lions announced a series of roster moves for Week 7’s game.

The full list includes:

• Lions placed WR DJ Chark and CB Bobby Price on injured reserve. 
• Lions signed WR Maurice Alexander to their active roster. 
• Lions elevated K Michael Badgley and WR Brandon Zylstra to their active roster.
• Lions activated DL Josh Paschal and CB Jerry Jacobs from the PUP list. 

Chark, 26, was a second-round pick by the Jaguars out of LSU back in 2018.  He signed a four-year, $4,447,229 contract with Jacksonville that includes a $1,314,349 signing bonus.

Chark was testing the market for the first time in his career when he agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal that is fully guaranteed. 

In 2022, Chark has appeared in three games for the Lions and caught seven passes for 98 yards receiving and one touchdown.
