The Detroit Lions announced a pair of roster moves on Tuesday morning.
The Lions announced that it has re-signed Zach Horton, who signed with the Lions as an undrafted free agent in May of 2025. Horton was waived last year in roster cuts, but the Lions signed him to its 2025 practice squad and then to a Reserve/Future contract this past January.

The Lions waived Horton last Friday and signed tight end Anthony Firkser in a corresponding move.
Firkser exited Monday's training camp practice early to be evaluated for injury. Lions head coach Dan Campbell announced on Tuesday morning that Firkser had suffered a fractured fibula . The Lions placed Firkser on injured reserve on Tuesday morning.
Firkser joins rookie receiver Kendrick Law as Lions in injured reserve. Law suffered a season-ending ACL tear during OTAs.
Horton, 23, played in two games last season. The Indiana product played eight offensive snaps in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers and three offensive snaps against the Chicago Bears in the 2025 regular-season finale. Horton also totaled nine special teams across those two contests, per Pro Football Focus .
