What happened: Firkser returns to Detroit after signing with Washington on June 2. Horton had joined Detroit on a reserve/future deal in January.

Why it matters: The move gives Detroit an experienced option as tight-end roles take shape for the 2026 season. Firkser begins another stint with the Lions after leaving earlier this offseason.

What to watch: Firkser's camp work will clarify his place in Detroit's rotation. Horton's waiver status will determine his immediate next step.
