Greg Dortch Signs One-Year Deal With Lions

Wednesday, March 18, 1:35 PM

Former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch is signing an undisclosed one-year deal with the Detroit Lions on Wednesday, sources told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. It's a reunion with new Lions offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, who coached Dortch the last three years in Arizona. In that time, the 27-year-old pass-catcher caught 90 of his 124 targets for 828 yards and eight touchdowns in 45 games (11 starts). The former undrafted free agent out of Wake Forest was a regular contributor in Arizona's offense, but he was never a priority option for fantasy football managers at any time. The speedy wideout will add depth to Detroit's pass-catching corps and will also be an asset on special teams, as he had 31 kick returns for 811 yards and 16 punt returns for 185 yards in 12 games in 2025. At best, Dortch will be the Lions' WR4 behind Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Isaac TeSlaa to begin next season.

Xavier Weaver News

Xavier Weaver Won't Play Against Rams

Sunday, December 7, 4:00 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Xavier Weaver (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction after missing Friday's practice. The Cardinals are extremely short-staffed at wide receiver with Weaver, Greg Dortch (chest), and Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) all sidelined. Wide receiver Michael Wilson and tight end Trey McBride will operate as Arizona's top targets. Andre Baccellia, Trent Sherfield, and Jalen Brooks will round out the rest of the wide receiver room.
