Detroit signed Badgley to a one-year deal in February and appeared in four games last season. He spent much of last season on the practice squad behind Riley Patterson.

Adam Schefter reported that Badgley suffered a torn hamstring.

The team will work out kickers, and in June, they signed Michigan Panthers kicker Jake Bates to a two-year contract after Bates went 17-22 in the United Football League, including a 64-yard field goal at Ford Field that went viral on social media.
