The Detroit Lions are bringing back a fan favorite.
After waiving him from their active roster to make room for newly-acquired safety Andre Cisco, the Lions re-signed tight end Jackson Meeks to their practice squad.
Meeks began his career as a wide receiver, but he made the position switch to tight end this offseason. Meeks appeared in two games last season, and has played in four games thus far this season with one catch for eight yards.

The 6-foot-2, 235-pound tight end was one of the best stories of the offseason and training camp, defying the odds to make the Lions' initial 53-man roster.
Meeks signed with the Lions out of Syracuse as an undrafted free agent
in 2025.
