Hours after getting released by the Bears, the Lions signed Badgley and he could play this week.
The #Lions are signing kicker Michael Badgley to the practice squad, per source.
Dan Campbell said Monday he’s hopeful Austin Seibert (right groin) will be able to kick this week. If not, it’ll be Badgley, who just kicked for the #Bears on Sunday.
