Veteran CB Anthony Averett is signing to the #Lions' practice squad, per source.

Averett has played in 51 games with 27 starts with Baltimore and Las Vegas. Some needed experience for a Detroit secondary that just lost Emmanuel Moseley to a torn ACL.

Former Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien isn't sweating whether Mac Jones will continue to be the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots for the time being.

Do you anticipate Mac Jones being the starter this week? Bill O'Brien says he does. Dismisses the notion of a mental break for the QB, saying there's no time for that in this league. #Patriots

On This Day in Crimson Tide History:

October 11, 1975: Living members of the 1925 Crimson Tide team that competed in the Rose Bowl returned to Tuscaloosa to watch Paul Bryant's squad stun Washington 52-0. Including punt returns, Alabama tallied 616 yards and quarterback Richard Todd watched virtually most of the game from the sideline after the Crimson Tide jumped out to a 24-0 first-quarter lead. In addition to head coach Wallace Wade, and assistant Russell Cohen, those on hand included Wu Winslett, Bill Buckler, Herschel Caldwell, Pete Camp, Roy Dismukes, Grant Gillis, Pooley Hubert, Leslie Payne and Fred Pickhard. Five members of Washington's '25 squad also attended. – Bryant Museum

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“Tradition is a rich asset for any team. Tradition and success are traveling companions.” – Wallace Wade
