Jackson Meeks - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Signs future deal with Detroit The Lions signed Meeks to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Impact Meeks spent the entirety of the 2025 season with Detroit's practice squad, earning a pair of elevations to the active roster. The wide receiver didn't record any stats while playing five snaps on offense and 23 snaps with the special-teams unit in those contests. Meeks will now have an opportunity to train with the Lions in the offseason, and he'll attempt to crack their initial 53-man roster next year.

Signs with practice squad Meeks signed with the Lions' practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Meeks led the Lions in receptions (11) and receiving yards (176) through three preseason games, adding two touchdowns as well. Unfortunately, the undrafted free agent out of Syracuse was left off the 53-man roster with the Lions keeping just five wide receivers. Meeks' impressive performance could get him called up to the active roster if injuries stack up.
