Overview

• Detroit released practice-squad wide receiver Ronnie Bell on Tuesday.
• The Lions signed veteran linebacker Ty Summers to the practice squad to fill the vacancy.
• Summers appeared in 16 games with two starts for the Giants in 2024 after a brief 2024 training-camp stint with Detroit.
• Detroit still has an open 53-man roster spot after placing safety Daniel Thomas on injured reserve late last week.
• Recent decisions reflect current evaluations and health at the positions, with Zach Cunningham sidelined by a hamstring and rookie Jackson Meeks elevated over Bell before this move.
