Lions put LB Jimmy Rolder on IR, waive DB Bishop Fitzgerald

The Lions have placed linebacker Jimmy Rolder on the injured reserve list due to a season-ending hamstring injury sustained during their win against the Vikings. This news comes alongside the concurrent injury to teammate Jack Campbell, who is hospitalized with a neck injury. Additionally, the team has waived defensive back Bishop Fitzgerald, who was signed from the Steelers' practice squad in September but did not play a game for the Lions.

In response to these injuries, the Lions plan to sign linebacker K.J. Britt from the Patriots' practice squad, with one roster spot remaining available.
