The Detroit Lions signed tight end Jackson Meeks to their practice squad Wednesday.
The Detroit Lions waived tight end Jackson Meeks to create roster room for new safety Andre Cisco this week. But Meeks is now back with the organization.
According to the NFL transaction wire, the Lions signed Meeks to their practice squad Wednesday.
With the exception of a few days between transactions, Meeks has been with Detroit since coming to the team as an undrafted free agent in May 2025. During that time, he has transitioned from wide receiver to tight end.
Meeks made his NFL regular season debut with the Lions last year. The tight end earned a roster spot with the team after the 2026 preseason for the first time.
In six career NFL games, Meeks has one catch for eight yards.
