Lions' Craig Reynolds: Rewarded with roster spot

The Lions signed Reynolds to the 53-man roster Monday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

Perhaps more importantly, the transaction inks Reynolds with Detroit through 2022, a much-deserved development after the Kutztown product amassed 216 total yards in his last two appearances. D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and/or Jamaal Williams (illness) could be back in action for Week 16 against a Falcons defense that's proven susceptible to the run, but Reynolds appears to have played his way into the No. 3 backfield role at the very least.
