Inks deal with active roster The Lions signed Nauta to the active roster Saturday.
Impact Nauta has played in two games for the Lions this year, so he'll officially sign with the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Colts. He adds depth at tight end behind T.J. Hockenson and Jesse James, although Nauta's offensive role is limited when those two are healthy.

Slides back to practice squad Nauta reverted to the Lions' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Impact Nauta has made appearances in consecutive games following Detroit's Week 5 bye, meaning the door remains open for him to return in the near future. The 23-year-old fielded 18 offensive snaps without tallying a reception in his season debut against the Jaguars, and this past Sunday against the Falcons he recorded a three-yard catch. Nauta may fluctuate on and off the active roster this season depending upon need, but that's only as long as another NFL team doesn't try to nab him off the Lions' practice squad.

Impact Hunter Bryant (concussion) was placed back on injured reserve last week, so Nauta will add depth at tight end during Sunday's game versus the Falcons. This will be Nauta's second straight game with the active roster, as he logged 18 offensive snaps last week but wasn't targeted.

Impact Nauta was activated for Sunday's win over the Jaguars and played in 18 offensive snaps, although he failed to record a stat in the contest. T.J.

Let go by Detroit Nauta was waived by the Lions on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact Nauta briefly spent time on the reserve/COVID-19 list before returning to training camp relatively quickly. The 2019 seventh-round selection played sparingly in his rookie campaign, mainly on special teams, but did manage to stick on the active roster all season. Expect to see the 23-year-old fullback on the team's practice squad to start the season.

Activated from COVID-19 list The Lions removed Nauta (illness) from the COVID-19 list Monday.
Impact Nauta joined a list of eight Lions players who were placed on the list earlier in the offseason, but it appears the second-year tight end is healthy well ahead of the season and in time for training camp. In addition to serving as depth at that position, Nauta could be a candidate for some lead blocking should the primary fullback, which was Nick Bawden the last two seasons, miss time in 2020.

Joins COVID list The Lions have placed Nauta (illness) on the reserve/COVID list, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Nauta is one of eight Lions on the list along with offensive stalwarts Matthew Stafford, Kenny Golladay and T.J. Hockenson (ankle). A 2019 seventh-round pick, Nauta spent much of his rookie season on the practice squad before making his pro debut Week 12 and logging snaps in each of the last six games. Even though he's listed as a tight end, he got time at fullback and hauled in two of three targets for 13 yards.
