The Lions put Woody on the IR - ending his season - because of an ankle sprain??? They still have 11 weeks plus the bye left of the season.
WTF??? He couldn't recover from an ankle sprain in 3 months??
So, who did the Lions activate to take Woody, the offensive lineman's spot on the roster?
Oh, that would be
RECEIVER Devale Ellis.
According to MLIVE, the reason they chose Ellis is:

He's there to add some speed on special teams,

but if you're guessing that it's a move that's not good for Mike Williams, you're probably on the right track.

Absolutely, positively UN-FREAKING-BELIEVEABLE!!!! This organization never ceases to amaze me.
So Mike Williams is FINALLY starting to show good things in practice and his teammates have been calling for him to get into games, and how do you reward his effort? The effort that you've been begging to see from him? The effort that you told him would be rewarded with playing time?
Well, you sign Az Hakim and play him after 4 days of practice, they you release your #2 WR, but instead of Williams moving up a spot on the depth chart, you activate Bodiford, an undrafted FA that has never played a snap in the NFL from the injury list and put him ahead of Williams on the depth chart, then you sign an undrafted practice squad receiver who has never played a snap in the NFL when your LINEMAN gets put on IR.
Yeah, nice consistent message. I swear, I think the Lion's and Piston's coaching staffs both went to the same course on Hypocritical Doublespeak BS 101.
