Dan Campbell is considering alternative ways to convey offensive play calls after headset problems nearly derailed the Detroit Lions in a first-half drive against the Los Angeles Rams last week.

The Detroit Lions added another undrafted rookie to their 53-man roster Wednesday, signing offensive lineman Tommy Kraemer off the practice squad.

The secret to a successful onside kick is simple. “Live right,” Detroit Lions kicker Austin Seibert said.
