The Detroit Lions officially announced that Brodric Martin has been activated to the 53-man roster—as previously reported. But along with that move, the Lions also made a subtle change to their practice squad.
The team announced on Wednesday that they’ve cut safety, Erick Hallett, from the practice squad and replaced him with free agent safety Kaevon Merriweather.
Merriweather, a Belleview native, went undrafted in 2023 out of Iowa but quickly signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for his rookie season. He was good enough to not only make the Bucs’ 53-man roster that year, but he also made 16 game appearances for Tampa, mostly on special teams, earning an 80.
