Jackson Meeks joined the Detroit Lions with little fanfare. But the undrafted free agent receiver is making a case for a roster spot after his second straight strong performance.

Here are several takeaways from the Lions’ third preseason contest, and their first played in front of the home fans at Ford Field.

Rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers and wide receiver Theo Wease Jr. connected for two touchdowns, helping the Miami Dolphins top the Detroit Lions 21-17 in their preseason matchup at Ford Field on Saturday afternoon.

Both born in Michigan, Detroit Lions rookies Isaac TeSlaa and Ian Kennelly played their first pro game at Ford Field on Saturday.

When the first-team offense retook the field a few plays later, it was more of the same: Hutchinson had a pressure on the first play, resulting in an incompletion. Following a run play, Lions defensive tackle Tyleik Williams got in the backfield for a would-be sack.

The Miami Dolphins safety’s return to Detroit for joint practices with his former team had a scuffle with Jameson Williams, plus highs and lows in coverage.
