Allen Park, Mich. – The Detroit Lions announced today that they have signed TE Isaac Nauta to the active roster from the practice squad. In addition, the team announced that they have signed T Dan Skipper to the practice squad.
Nauta was selected by the Lions in the seventh round (244th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Georgia and was signed to the Lions' practice squad prior to Week 1 of the regular season.
