ALLEN PARK -- Tight end Isaac Nauta is among 10 players who have signed with the Detroit Lions’ initial practice squad.

The rest of the squad: DT John Atkins, WR Jonathan Duhart, WR Tom Kennedy ,LB Steve Longa, OT Matt Nelson, LB Anthony Pittman, RB Mark Thompson, TE Austin Traylor and DE Jonathan Wynn. All 10 players were in camp with Detroit this season.

Ex-Raiders linebacker Jason Cabinda is not on the practice squad, despite a report from the Houston Chronicle that linked him to Detroit.

The most notable name on the squad is Nauta, who was selected by Detroit in the seventh round of the draft. He had some nice moments early in camp and caught five passes for 85 yards in the preseason, including one touchdown in the finale against Cleveland, but was also plagued by consistency issues and didn’t make it through the cut down to 53.

Detroit also cut Logan Thomas on Sunday, leaving Detroit with just two tight ends. That should almost certainly change at some point before they open the season next Sunday in Arizona. And with two tight ends on the practice squad who know this offense, its possible Nauta or Traylor -- or even Thomas himself -- returns at some point.

Another draft pick that Detroit cut, seventh-rounder P.J. Johnson, is not on the practice squad.
