Lions Promote TE Ross Dwelley and Add DL Quinton Jefferson to Practice Squad

An open roster spot from Marcus Davenport going on injured reserve enabled the promotion without a cut.

Overview

  • Dwelley moves to the 53-man roster after a Week 3 elevation in Baltimore, where he logged four offensive snaps and 12 on special teams.
  • He is expected to serve as the third tight end behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright with a primary role on special teams.
  • Detroit signed veteran lineman Quinton Jefferson to the practice squad following a tryout, filling the spot Dwelley vacated.
  • Jefferson brings multi-position experience across the line and career production including 28.5 sacks and 31 tackles for loss.
  • Shane Zylstra remains on injured reserve after an ankle injury and is eligible to return in Week 7, while Jefferson offers interior and edge depth if elevated.
