Lions bring back WR Copeland, waive Spadola

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions have signed wide receiver Damian Copeland, who rejoins the team after being released last week.

The Lions also waived receiver Ryan Spadola.

Copeland signed with the Lions earlier this offseason, then was released last week when Detroit signed Anquan Boldin. Copeland spent the past two seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he missed both seasons on injured reserve following wrist and shoulder injuries.

He was undrafted out of Louisville, where he caught 52 passes in his senior season in 2013.
