Overview
- Tennessee added Erick Hallett to its 53-man roster to address a safety shortage after placing three safeties on season-ending injured reserve.
- Hallett started for Detroit against the Rams last week, logging 55 defensive snaps with 10 tackles and a pass breakup.
- The Lions filled Hallett’s practice-squad spot by signing undrafted rookie cornerback Keenan Garber from Kansas State.
- Garber spent training camp with the Vikings and had a brief stint on the Colts’ practice squad earlier this season.
- Detroit did not elevate Hallett to its active roster under the practice-squad signing rules, as the secondary continues to navigate Brian Branch’s IR stint, Kerby Joseph’s knee issue, and Thomas Harper’s concussion protocol with veteran help from Jalen Mills and Damontae Kazee.
