Detroit Lions Place Rookie Linebacker Jimmy Rolder on Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions placed rookie linebacker Jimmy Rolder on injured reserve due to a significant hamstring injury that will require surgery and sideline him for the remainder of the season. Rolder recorded five tackles, a sack, and a tackle for loss in 17 defensive snaps against Minnesota. In a corresponding roster move, Detroit is signing veteran special teamer K.J. Britt off New England's practice squad.
