Lions fill out practice squad, add former Jaguars safety

Lions fill out practice squad by adding former Jaguars safety Erick Hallett

The Detroit Lions had one open spot on the practice squad after releasing veteran safety CJ Moore earlier on Thursday. They fill the spot with another safety.

The Lions announced they have signed Erick Hallett to the final spot on the practice squad. Hallett, 24, was a sixth-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2023 NFL Draft. He played collegiately at Pittsburgh.

Hallett didn’t make the Jaguars as a rookie but spent the season on their practice squad. He was waived again during this week’s roster cutdowns.
