ALLEN PARK -- The Detroit Lions have re-signed tailback Steven Miller to their practice squad four days after releasing him.

Miller takes the place of receiver Jeremy Ross, who was promoted to the 53-man roster before Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Lions originally acquired Miller last offseason as an undrafted free agent out of Appalachian State, signed him to the practice squad after training camp and then released him last Thursday to make room for cornerback Chris Greenwood.

Four days later, he's back in the fold.
