According to published reports, the Lions added journeyman Patrick Ramsey as their third quarterback, filling the roster spot opened when No. 1 overall pick Matthew Stafford went on injured reserve.

Ramsey, the first-round pick of the Redskins in 2001, has been with three teams since, including the Titans earlier this season. He will back up this week's starter, Drew Stanton, and Daunte Culpepper.
