What happened: Bachie and Miller joined the Lions' practice squad on Aug. 31, one day after both were released. McLaughlin and Small made Detroit's initial 53-man roster before being waived Sept. 2.
Why it matters: Bachie now occupies a 53-man spot as Detroit prepares for Week 1. The two practice-squad additions provide depth at center and running back.
By the numbers: Four players were involved: one joined the active roster, one moved to practice-squad injured and two signed with the practice squad.
What to watch: Detroit's Week 1 designations will determine whether Bachie is active for the opener. Miller's practice-squad status remains the next injury update to watch.
