Lions Re-Sign CB Arthur Maulet, Waive TE Ross Dwelley

Detroit prioritizes nickel depth following season-ending injuries in the secondary.

Overview

  • The move returns Maulet to the 53-man roster two weeks after his release ahead of a Week 15 matchup with the Rams.
  • Maulet appeared in six games earlier this season, recording one interception with 105 defensive snaps and 65 on special teams, primarily in the slot.
  • Detroit’s secondary has been hit by major losses, with Terrion Arnold out for the season with a shoulder injury and Brian Branch tearing his Achilles in Week 14.
  • The Lions also signed veteran Damontae Kazee to the practice squad to bolster safety depth.
  • Dwelley's release tightens a thin tight end group, as Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright are on injured reserve and Anthony Firkser and Hayden Rucci remain on the active roster.
