Lions Elevate Meeks to Active Roster Ahead of Eagles Clash

On Saturday, the Detroit Lions have made a roster move to bolster their receiving corps ahead of their upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles on November 19th, 2025. The team has elevated wide receiver Meeks from their practice squad to the active roster.

This elevation marks Meeks' second call-up to the active roster this season. During his first appearance in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns, Meeks played 13 snaps, with 4 on offense and 9 on special teams, though he did not record any statistics.

The Lions' decision to elevate Meeks comes as a precautionary measure, as rookie third-round pick Isaac Teslaa is currently dealing with an oblique injury and may be unable to suit up against the Eagles. By adding Meeks to the active roster, the team is ensuring they have additional depth at the wide receiver position should Teslaa be unavailable.

As the Lions prepare to face the undefeated Eagles, this roster move provides them with more options and flexibility in their passing game. Meeks' experience and familiarity with the team's system could prove valuable as they look to pull off an upset against one of the NFC's top contenders.
