Lions' Anthony Firkser: Joins active roster

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.
