Lions announce roster moves: Signed WR Lawrence Keys Released WR Kyre Duplessis https://t.co/l8BuaqHyoc Via @Lions on X

What happened: The Detroit Lions announced a pair of roster moves, signing wide receiver Lawrence Keys and releasing wide receiver Kyre Duplessis. The transactions adjust the bottom of the team's wide receiver depth chart during the offseason.

Why it matters: Duplessis had only recently joined Detroit, having signed with the Lions on June 4 while working back from a rookie ACL tear. Releasing him this soon points to continued churn at the back end of the receiver room as the Lions set their 2026 roster, and gives Keys a chance to compete for a depth spot.

What to watch: Watch whether Keys can earn a special-teams or depth role through training camp, and whether Detroit makes additional receiver moves before the 2026 season.
