Overview

  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Tuesday that Detroit is adding Malik Cunningham to its practice squad.
  • An undrafted 2023 prospect, Cunningham spent time with the Patriots and Ravens and transitioned from quarterback to wide receiver in 2024.
  • He has largely been a practice-squad player in the NFL and has not logged any stats this season.
  • Detroit visits Baltimore on Monday night, and Cunningham is expected to help simulate Lamar Jackson’s dual-threat style in practice.
  • In additional moves, the Lions added tight end Ross Dwelley to the practice squad, released linebacker Monty Rice, placed tight end Shane Zylstra on injured reserve, and promoted offensive lineman Trystan Colon to the active roster.
