Detroit Lions place Anthony Firkser on injured reserve, sign Zach Horton

On August 4, the Detroit Lions announced that tight end Anthony Firkser has been placed on injured reserve after breaking his fibula during practice. To fill his roster spot, the Lions have re-signed tight end Zach Horton, who previously played for Detroit last season. Firkser's injury leaves a gap in the tight end position, which has been affected by multiple health concerns, including rookie Miles Kitselman, who is also out for an extended period. Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright are expected to remain the top options for the team at tight end. The Lions seek to maintain depth at the position as they progress through training camp and the preseason.
