DB Erick Hallett
Hallett had a strong preseason and training camp and was probably in the discussion for a roster spot. He can play safety, nickel, and outside cornerback, and that versatility could be an asset for him on the practice squad.
TE Zach Horton
The rookie out of Indiana caught a couple passes in the preseason and showed some potential as a blocker in the run game. The Lions want to continue developing his skillset.
WR Tom Kennedy
The crafty veteran has played in 24 games for the Lions dating back to 2019 between stints on the practice squad. If the Lions run into an injury issue at wide receiver, they'd have no hesitation moving Kennedy into the lineup.
WR Jackson Meeks
Meeks looks to have a lot of promise after leading the Lions in receiving in the preseason with 11 receptions for 176 yards and two touchdowns. He's got a good frame at 6-foot-2, 214 pounds with a lot of upside to his game.
OL Mason Miller
The big tackle out of North Dakota State did some good things in camp and the Lions want to continue to develop him as tackle depth.
OL Michael Niese
Niese is a veteran with 18 games of regular season experience for the Lions the last two seasons. He's got ability to play all three spots inside along Detroit's offensive line which makes him a great asset on the practice squad.
