The newest member of the Detroit Lions will not be in Ford Field for the team’s opener on Monday Night Football. The Lions claimed rookie offensive lineman Jamil Demby off waivers from the Los Angeles Rams.

The move was official at 4 p.m., but because the Lions have yet to play this week he remains a Lion on paper only. Detroit will need to make a corresponding roster move after the game.

Demby was a sixth-round pick by the Rams out of Maine in April’s draft. He played tackle for the Black Bears but is widely considered a guard in the NFL.

The most likely candidate to get dropped for Demby is recently claimed OL Andrew Donnal, who missed the last practice session with injury and is inactive for the Monday night game.
