DETROIT (AP) -Arizona Cardinals kicker Neil Rackers was inactive Sunday against the Detroit Lions because of a groin injury.
The Cardinals activated newly acquired Mike Nugent to replace Rackers.
Nugent was released by Tampa Bay on Oct. 5, a day after he missed two field goals in a three-point loss to Washington. He signed with the Buccaneers as a free agent after playing for the New York Jets.
Detroit didn’t put kick returner Brian Witherspoon on the active roster. Jim Schwartz said Wednesday the Lions wouldn’t have claimed him off waivers from Jacksonville if they didn’t think it would help, adding the idea of adding him was he could immediately return kicks.
Lions long snapper Don Muhlbach was inactive with a concussion and replaced by Nathan Hodel.
