  "account": "The Detroit Lions have bolstered their offensive line by elevating two players ahead of their Week 2 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Rookie right tackle Blake Miller (knee) and left guard Christian Mahogany (hip) are currently dealing with injuries, prompting the team to temporarily promote offensive tackle Devin Cochran and center Seth McLaughlin to the active roster. Cochran, who has made several appearances and one start in the NFL since signing with the Bengals in 2022, will provide depth at tackle behind starters Penei Sewell and Larry Borom. This marks Cochran's second season with the Lions. Additionally, center Seth McLaughlin, who was initially waived and later brought back on the practice squad, adds more depth in the middle, backing up Juice Scruggs. The Lions had an open spot on their 53-man roster, so no corresponding move was necessary. Furthermore, defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike, who was previously on the practice squad, has been signed to the active roster for the upcoming game.",
