Veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick re-signs with Lions

The Detroit Lions have re-signed veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick, the team announced Friday.

Patrick, 31, was able to find a role within the Lions’ high-powered offense last season, finishing the 2024 season with 33 receptions for 394 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

Patrick, who missed the 2022 and 2023 seasons with knee and Achilles injuries while with the Denver Broncos, was signed to Detroit’s practice squad in August before being signed to the active roster on Sept. 24 ahead of Week 4.

He caught his first receiving touchdown as a Lion off a 3-yard pass from quarterback Jared Goff at 5:02 in the third quarter on Dec. 5 against the Green Bay Packers, then caught his second touchdown off a 1-yard toss from Goff with 8:39 remaining in the fourth during the same game.

They were Patrick’s first NFL touchdowns since 2021, when he played for the Broncos. His production was a pleasant surprise for a Lions team who finished with 15 wins for the first time in franchise history.

Patrick has 176 catches for 2,403 yards and 15 touchdowns in his NFL career.

ESPN’s Eric Woodyard contributed to this report.
