Key points
- Jackson Meeks re-signed to Detroit Lions practice squad
- Meeks was previously waived to make room for safety Andre Cisco
- The 23-year-old tight end has one reception for eight yards in four games this season
The Detroit Lions announced the return of tight end Jackson Meeks to their practice squad. The transaction follows Meeks' brief departure from the active roster, where he was waived to create a roster opening for newly acquired safety Andre Cisco.
Meeks initially entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Syracuse following the 2025 draft, signing with Detroit. After missing the initial 53-man cut as a rookie, he spent time on the practice squad, earned three elevations, and later signed a futures contract. The 23-year-old tight end successfully earned a spot on the active 53-man roster coming out of training camp this season.
Over four appearances for the Lions in 2026, Meeks has recorded a single reception for eight yards. He will now continue his development within Detroit's practice squad framework.
