What happened: The Detroit Lions signed center Seth McLaughlin to the active roster from the practice squad. The team also added linebacker Joe Bachie back to the practice squad, two days after releasing him.

Why it matters: McLaughlin's elevation provides needed interior depth for Detroit ahead of its matchup with the New York Jets. Guard Ben Bartch missed Wednesday's practice with a foot injury, prompting the reinforcement.

What to watch: Detroit will monitor Bartch's participation through the remainder of the week to determine his availability against New York.
