What happened: The Detroit Lions re-signed tight end Jackson Meeks to their practice squad Wednesday. Meeks returned to the organization after clearing waivers following his release on Nov. 9.

Why it matters: Detroit sits at 6-2 following a 19-9 victory over the Miami Dolphins, holding playoff positioning in the NFC. Retaining Meeks preserves depth at tight end during the second half of his rookie campaign.

What to watch: The 6-2 Lions continue regular-season preparations as Meeks resumes work with the practice squad unit.
