Lions Re-Sign CB Arthur Maulet, Waive TE Ross Dwelley
The move bolsters nickel depth following season-ending losses in the secondary.
Overview
- The 32-year-old returns two weeks after his release, restoring a trusted option in the slot and nickel roles.
- He appeared in six games earlier this season, logging 105 defensive snaps with one interception and 65 special-teams snaps.
- Detroit acted after Brian Branch suffered a torn Achilles and Terrion Arnold was ruled out for the year with a shoulder injury.
- The Lions also signed veteran safety Damontae Kazee to the practice squad to reinforce coverage and versatility on the back end.
- Dwelley's departure leaves only Anthony Firkser and Hayden Rucci at tight end on the 53-man roster, with Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright on injured reserve.
