Ross Dwelley: Waived by Detroit
The Lions waived Dwelley on Tuesday.
Dwelley played in 11 games this season, totaling two receptions for seven yards on five targets. The tight end will now be placed on waivers and, if he clears, will likely re-sign with the Lions' practice squad. The move likely was made to make space for new cornerback Arthur Maulet, however, the IR presence of Sam LaPorta (back), Brock Wright (neck) and Shane Zylstra (knee) means that if Dwelley can sign to the practice squad, he will likely be elevated for a future Lions game.

Lions' Ross Dwelley: One catch in victory
Dwelley caught his only target for four yards in Thursday night's 44-30 win over Dallas.
Dwelley was limited to just one catch for the second week in a row while operating as the team's starting tight end with both Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) on injured reserve. Dwelley doesn't present as an appealing fantasy option moving forward outside of the deepest formats.

Lions' Ross Dwelley: One catch in start
Dwelley caught one of three targets for three yards in Thursday's 31-24 loss to the Packers.
Dwelley was thrust into a starting role with Brock Wright (neck) sidelined in Week 13, but the tight end was ultimately an afterthought on offense. Dwelley finished fourth on the team in targets, but his three receiving yards ranked seventh for Detroit. The Lions will square off with the Cowboys on Thursday Night Football in Week 14, and it's possible that Dwelley garners another start if Wright remains unavailable.

Lions' Ross Dwelley: Still without target in 2025
Dwelley went without a target while playing six of the Lions' 68 snaps on offense in Monday's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.
Dwelley has now logged single-digit snaps in all but one of his five appearances this season and will continue to see limited playing time at tight end while Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright are both healthy. The 30-year-old has yet to draw a target and will likely be deployed mainly as a blocker on the rare occasions he takes the field.

Lions' Ross Dwelley: Inked to Detroit's active roster
The Lions signed Dwelley from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Benjamin Raven of MLive Media Group reports.
Dwelley signed with the Lions' practice squad Sept. 16 after the Lions placed fellow tight end Shane Zylstra (ankle) on injured reserve. Dwelley was elevated for the Lions' Week 3 win over the Ravens on Monday, when he played 16 snaps (12 on special teams, four on offense) without otherwise appearing on the box score. Now that he's on the active roster, Dwelley will continue to serve on special teams while operating as the Lions' No. 3 tight end behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright.

Dwelley was elevated to the Lions' active roster for Monday's 38-30 win over the Ravens, when he played 16 snaps (four on offense, 12 on special teams) without showing up on the box score otherwise. He was signed to the Lions' practice squad Sept. 16 and can be elevated to the active roster twice more this season.

Lions' Ross Dwelley: Elevated for MNF
The Lions elevated Dwelley from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Monday's game against the Ravens.
Dwelley was let go by the 49ers during training camp in mid-August, but he caught on with the Lions this past Tuesday on the practice squad following the placement of Shane Zylstra (ankle) on injured reserve. Dwelley will be elevated for Monday night's contest and will serve as the Lions' TE3 behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright.

Ross Dwelley: Gets opportunity with Detroit
The Lions signed Dwelley to the practice squad Tuesday.
Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright are the Lions' two healthy tight ends on the 53-man roster after Shane Zylstra (ankle) was placed on injured reserve, so Dwelley could be elevated from the practice squad for Detroit's Week 3 clash against Baltimore on Monday. Dwelley appeared in 17 regular-season games for the Falcons in 2024, splitting his time between offense (104 snaps) and special teams (165 snaps) and finishing with one catch for five yards.

Ross Dwelley: Let go by 49ers
San Francisco released Dwelley on Friday.
Dwelley suited up for all 17 regular-season games in a depth role with Atlanta last season, and he inked with the 49ers back in May. He'll work to carve out another reserve opportunity elsewhere in the league.

49ers' Ross Dwelley: Back to SF on one-year pact
Dwelley signed a one-year contract with the 49ers on Friday.
Dwelley spent his first six NFL seasons in San Francisco before playing for the Falcons in 2024. Back in the Bay Area, the 30-year-old Dwelley will compete for a roster spot with the 49ers in 2025. He has just 17 receiving yards in 29 regular-season appearances over the past two seasons, so Dwelley doesn't project to factor into the passing game much, even if he makes the team.
