The Detroit Lions announced Thursday that they’ve designated OLB James Houston to return from injured reserve.
This officially opens a three-week window of time for the Lions to activate him or he would miss the remainder of the season.
Houston, 25, was a sixth-round pick by the Lions out of Jackson State back in 2022. He’s currently in the second year of his four-year, $3.8 million contract with Detroit.
He made the 53-man roster as a rookie and became the third player in NFL history to start his career with a four-game sack streak.
In 2023, Houston has appeared in two games for the Lions and recorded one tackle.
