Firkser didn't draw a target in Sunday's 41-34 loss to the Rams. Firkser saw his offensive snap count drop from 35 to 22 in Week 15 with Shane Zylstra returning from a knee injury that forced him to miss 11 contests. Firkser has now caught both of his targets for 11 yards while playing 75 snaps on offense over four games with Detroit this year, and he has little to no fantasy utility moving forward.

Firkser caught his only target for seven yards in Thursday night's 44-30 win over the Cowboys. Firkser was officially added to the active roster prior to Week 13, and he has now combined to catch both of his targets for an uninspiring 11 total yards over the last two weeks. With Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) both on injured reserve, Firkser and Ross Dwelley will likely continue to operate as the team's primary options at tight end moving forward.

The Lions signed Firkser to the active roster from the practice squad Wednesday. Firkser signed with the Lions' practice squad in mid-November and was elevated for their Week 12 win over the Giants. With both Brock Wright (neck) and Sam LaPorta (back) sidelined, Firkser should have a chance to be active for Thursday's game against the Packers.

The Chiefs released Firkser on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Firkser inked a reserve/future deal with the Chiefs after their Super Bowl loss, but he's out of a roster spot following the NFL Draft and Kansas City's signings of undrafted rookies Jake Briningstool and Tre Watson. Firkser, 30, hasn't registered a regular-season catch since securing nine passes for the Falcons in 2022.

Firkser agreed to a reserve/future contract with the Chiefs on Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The veteran tight end appeared in seven games in 2024 (three with the Jets, four with the Chiefs) but didn't draw a single target while playing just 32 snaps on offense. After ending the season on Kansas City's practice squad, Firkser will remain with the organization as a member of the Chiefs' 90-man offseason roster when the new league year begins March 12.
