Tight end Anthony Firkser's return to the Lions turned out to be a brief one.
Firkser signed with the team on July 31, but his run on the active roster ended when the team placed him on injured reserve Tuesday morning. Head coach Dan Campbell said at his press conference that Firkser fractured his fibula.
When the Lions initially signed Firkser, they waived tight end Zach Horton in a corresponding move. Horton re-signed with the team on Tuesday to fill the spot opened up by Firkser's injury.
Firkser played for the Lions in 2023 and 2025 and returned to the team after being released by the Commanders in July.
