Detroit Lions Add Pro Bowl TE Zach Ertz to Practice Squad

The Detroit Lions are signing three-time Pro Bowler Zach Ertz to their practice squad, with the possibility of elevating him for the NFC Championship game. Ertz, who recently secured his release from the Arizona Cardinals, will provide much-needed depth in the tight end room for the Lions, who have been dealing with injuries to key players at the position. The move reunites Ertz with former Arizona tight ends coach Steve Heiden in Detroit, potentially aiding in his quick integration into the team.
