ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- The Detroit Lions are adding a quarterback to the practice squad -- as a tight end.Logan Thomas, who played two games at quarterback for Arizona in 2014 and was with the Dolphins and?New York Giants after that, is heading to the Lions with a position switch. For the first time in his NFL career, hell be listed as a tight end.Its been two-and-a-half years of not really getting an opportunity, and I was ready to get an opportunity to play and tried to make the best of what I could do, he said. I think this gives me the best opportunity to do so.Hes an intriguing prospect for Detroit at a new position, particularly because the tight end group on the active roster behind starter Eric Ebron is thin. Clay Harbor has three catches this season, and Matthew Mulligan is primarily a blocking tight end. Brandon Pettigrew is still working his way back from a torn ACL suffered last year.Thomas said he first worked out for the Lions at quarterback and then tried out as a tight end. He said the tight end position is a completely different language, a completely different move.You see things from a quarterbacks eyes way different than you did right beside the guys in the trenches, he said. Its something that youve got to bite your pride a little bit and move on.By moving to tight end, Thomas is making a switch quarterback Tim Tebow wasnt willing to do in the NFL. Thomas said he understands Tebows mindset, but in his case, he is willing to be flexible.I dont fault anybody for not wanting to give up on it, he said. Quarterback is the position in the limelight. Thats the one that makes or breaks games, and thats the one that makes the big contracts, so if you dont want to let go of it, you dont want to let go.I understand completely. But I think it takes a different type of person to understand and make the move too. So I come into it very humbled but excited and ready to go.Thomas said he will go to a training facility after the season so that by the spring he will have a pretty decent grasp and do the best I can rolling into next year.Thomas was a three-year starter at Virginia Tech at quarterback, and he played a few plays at receiver for the Hokies during his redshirt freshman year in 2010. He had two career receptions for 11 yards at Virginia Tech and also rushed 495 times for 1,359 yards and 24 touchdowns as a dual-threat quarterback.The 6-foot-6, 250-pound Thomas was initially drafted as a quarterback by Arizona in the fourth round of the 2014 draft out of Virginia Tech. He appeared twice for the Cardinals as a rookie, completing one of nine pass attempts for 81 yards and a touchdown.Thomas was with Miami in 2015, first on the practice squad and then the active roster. He was waived by the Dolphins in June and was picked up by the New York Giants, eventually landing on their practice squad. He was waived by the Giants earlier this month.

NEW YORK -- The struggling Mets are finally starting to get healthier. They just hope their hitters return in time to salvage the season.Jose Reyes was back in the leadoff spot Saturday night, activated from the disabled list before New Yorks game against San Diego. The speedy switch-hitter played shortstop in place of Asdrubal Cabrera, sidelined since Aug. 1 with a strained tendon in his left knee.Cabrera is making progress, however, and the team hopes he can return next weekend in San Francisco, manager Terry Collins said.Collins sounded even more confident about slugger Yoenis Cespedes coming off the DL when hes eligible on Friday. Cespedes has been out since Aug. 4 with a strained right quadriceps and is scheduled to begin playing rehab games Monday with Class A St. Lucie.It was welcome news for a Mets team that later snapped a four-game losing streak by beating the Padres 3-2 in 11 innings. Reyes drew a walk in the first and came around to score.Ranked 29th out of 30 major league clubs in runs, the defending NL champions (58-58) are 2 1/2 games behind St. Louis for the leagues second wild card. They are 11-20 since Cespedes first got injured on July 8.Those guys cannot get back at a better time, Collins said. We need `em. We need their leadership, besides their playing ability.New York also called up right-hander Gabriel Ynoa from Triple-A Las Vegas to provide a potential long man in a bullpen that threw 6 1/3 perfect innings Friday night.Ynoa, who was 10-5 with a 4.42 ERA as a starter in the minors, pitched a perfect inning to win his major league debut.If you want something in life and you put your mind to it, you can accomplish it. I was very emotional today to have this opportunity, he said through a translator.Right-hander Logan Verrett and infielder Matt Reynolds were optioned to Triple-A. Verrett, whho had been filling in for injured starter Matt Harvey, lost his spot in the rotation Friday night after allowing a career-high eight runs -- including four homers -- in 2 2/3 innings of an 8-6 loss to the Padres.ddddddddddddeft-hander Jonathon Niese is now scheduled to take that next turn in the rotation Wednesday night at Arizona. It would be Nieses first start for the Mets since he was reacquired from Pittsburgh at the Aug. 1 trade deadline.Hopefully, he can give us those quality innings that were going to need as we finish up the last couple months, Collins said.Reyes went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts and is hitting .225 with three homers and eight RBI in 71 at-bats. He had been sidelined since July 27 with a strained muscle on his left side and played a pair of rehab games at third base with Class A Brooklyn, going 2 for 6 with a double, three runs, two walks and two stolen bases.His energys going to bring something here, Collins said.Released by Colorado this season after serving a domestic-violence suspension, Reyes joined the Mets in early July and initially shifted from his natural shortstop position to third base to fill in for injured captain David Wright.Cespedes worked out Saturday and is expected to be the designated hitter for St. Lucie on Monday. Then he would play the outfield in the following days, Collins said.Weve talked to him on the phone and he said, `Ill see you Thursday in San Francisco, Collins said.When the outfielder returns, Collins said he might try to keep playing Cespedes in left field rather than center to protect his legs.Cabrera ran and took grounders and batting practice Saturday. He could begin playing minor league rehab games Tuesday, Collins said. ' ' '
