Zach Horton News: Elevated as depth option

Horton was elevated from Detroit's practice squad to the active roster Wednesday.

Horton has been on the Lions' practice squad all season, but he'll get his first chance to be active in Week 13. Both Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) will be sidelined Thursday against the Packers, so Horton provides needed depth to the position group.
