The Detroit Lions are bringing back linebacker Ezekiel Turner on a one-year deal. Turner, who joined the Lions’ practice squad in November before earning a promotion to the active roster, became a key contributor on special teams.
In nine games last season, he played 111 defensive snaps and 176 on special teams, finishing with 12 tackles, half a sack, and five special teams tackles, which tied for third on the team. His return helps bolster the Lions’ depth, especially after the team decided to part ways with longtime special teams ace Jalen Reeves-Maybin.
