The Detroit Lions have agreed to sign Zach Ertz to their practice squad and could be elevated for the NFC Championship Game.

Ertz was released by the Arizona Cardinals in November. 

Steve Heiden, the Lions' tight ends coach, was Ertz's position coach with the Cardinals in 2021 and '22.

The Lions lost Brock Wright in the Divisional Round, which leaves Sam LaPorta as the only healthy tight end on the roster.
