Anthony Firkser: Back with practice squad
Firkser reverted to Kansas City's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Firkser was elevated to the active roster for the second straight week, failing to record any stats while playing seven snaps on offense and two snaps with the special-teams unit in Sunday's 21-7 win over the Browns. The tight end can still be elevated one more time before he'd have to be officially signed to the active roster.

Jets' Anthony Firkser: Signed to active roster
The Jets signed Firkser from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Firkser began the regular season on the Jets' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He's played 28 snaps (six on offense, 22 on special teams) in the two games he's been elevated for, but he'll now join the active roster and provide depth at tight end. Firkser could serve as the Jets' No. 2 tight end behind Jeremy Ruckert on Sunday against the Steelers if starter Tyler Conklin (hip) is unable to play.

Jets' Anthony Firkser: Elevated for Monday night
Firkser was elevated to the Jets' active roster Monday.
Firkser's elevation Monday could be an indication that Tyler Conklin (hip) will be inactive in Week 6, but it adds depth to the Jets' tight-end room regardless. Expect Firkser to see limited work with the Jets' offense and primarily play on special teams in Monday night's matchup against the Bills.

Jets' Anthony Firkser: Could suit up for MNF
Firkser was elevated from the Jets' practice squad to the active roster Monday.
Firkser joined the team's practice squad after failing to make their 53-man roster during training camp. The veteran's promotion comes as a bit of a surprise with three tight ends already on the active roster, although it's not guaranteed he'll be active for Monday's game against the 49ers.

Anthony Firkser: Back with Jets
Firkser signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday.
The veteran tight end joined the Jets in late July but failed to make the team's initial 53-man roster Tuesday. However, Firkser is returning to New York after inking a deal with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday. He could be elevated to the Jets' active roster if one of the team's three active TEs misses time at some point this season.

Anthony Firkser: Let go by Jets
The Jets released Firsker on Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
The veteran tight end played in a career-low two regular-season games with Detroit last season, spending most of the campaign on the Lions' practice squad. It appears he may need to settle for another practice-squad role in 2024 in order to have a chance to make it back to an NFL roster. Firkser's best season came in 2020 with Tennessee, when he caught 39 passes for 387 yards and a touchdown over 16 regular-season contests.

Jets' Anthony Firkser: Links up with Gang Green
The Jets signed Firkser to a contract Tuesday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
After being let go by the Patriots during training camp last August, Firsker caught on with the Lions' practice squad in October. He appeared in the Lions' final five games of the season, including their three playoff games after Sam LaPorta injured his knee in Week 18. Firkser's ability to play both tight end and fullback could give him a leg up on tight ends Kenny Yeboah and Zack Kuntz to make the 53-man roster.

Anthony Firkser: Joins active roster
The Lions signed Firkser to their active roster Saturday.
Firkser's signing could be an indication that Detroit is preparing to be without rookie sensation Sam LaPorta in Sunday's affair. If the Lions are without LaPorta in the wild-card round, Firkser would likely serve as the team's top backup tight end behind Brock Wright.

Anthony Firkser: Back to Detroit's practice squad
The Lions signed Firkser to their practice squad Saturday.

Anthony Firkser: Gets let go
Firsker was waived by the Lions on Thursday.
Firsker had signed with Detroit's active roster from the practice squad Saturday and had appeared in each of their last two games while Brock Wright tended to a hip injury. Ultimately, this may be a procedural move for the Lions, and the Harvard product could find his way back on the practice squad, especially with Wright still ailing and Sam LaPorta now on the team's injury report with an ankle injury.

Lions' Anthony Firkser: Added to active roster
The Lions signed Firkser from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.
Firkser was elevated from the team's practice squad for last Sunday's win over Minnesota and played two offensive snaps without recording any stats. With Brock Wright (hip) deemed out Saturday versus Dallas and unable to practice at all during Week 17 prep, the Lions have decided to sign Firkser to the active roster rather than elevate him again. The third-year tight end will serve as depth behind Sam LaPorta and James Mitchell for Saturday's clash.
