  • Anthony Firkser: Headed to Kansas City

    The Chiefs signed Firkser to the practice squad Saturday.

    Firkser was released by the Jets on Thursday as he served mostly on special teams over the past three games. Firkser will now head to Kansas City and take the spot on the practice squad vacated by Peyton Hendershot, who was signed to the Chiefs' active roster Saturday following Jared Wiley's season-ending torn ACL.

  • Anthony Firkser: Released by Jets

    Firkser was released by the Jets on Thursday.

    The tight end was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for Weeks 6-8 and played on seven offensive snaps and 51 special-teams snaps. Firkser also saw action in Week 1, but he has yet to record a catch this season. The seventh-year pro's last regular-season reception came in 2022 with the Falcons.

  • Jets' Anthony Firkser: Signed to active roster

    The Jets signed Firkser from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.

    Firkser began the regular season on the Jets' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He's played 28 snaps (six on offense, 22 on special teams) in the two games he's been elevated for, but he'll now join the active roster and provide depth at tight end. Firkser could serve as the Jets' No. 2 tight end behind Jeremy Ruckert on Sunday against the Steelers if starter Tyler Conklin (hip) is unable to play.

  • Anthony Firkser: Reverts to practice squad

    Firkser reverted to the Jets' practice squad Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Firkser was elevated to the Jets' active roster ahead of Monday night's win over the Bills, but he'll now rejoin the team's practice squad. The Harvard product could be elevated to New York's active roster again if the Jets' tight end room faces injuries later this season.

  • Jets' Anthony Firkser: Elevated for Monday night

    Firkser was elevated to the Jets' active roster Monday.

    Firkser's elevation Monday could be an indication that Tyler Conklin (hip) will be inactive in Week 6, but it adds depth to the Jets' tight-end room regardless. Expect Firkser to see limited work with the Jets' offense and primarily play on special teams in Monday night's matchup against the Bills.

  • Anthony Firkser: Back to practice squad

    Firkser reverted to the Jets' practice squad Wednesday.

    Firsker was promoted by the team to the active roster ahead of their Monday night loss to the 49ers, which saw him play one snap on offense and nine on special teams.

  • Jets' Anthony Firkser: Could suit up for MNF

    Firkser was elevated from the Jets' practice squad to the active roster Monday.

    Firkser joined the team's practice squad after failing to make their 53-man roster during training camp. The veteran's promotion comes as a bit of a surprise with three tight ends already on the active roster, although it's not guaranteed he'll be active for Monday's game against the 49ers.

  • Anthony Firkser: Back with Jets

    Firkser signed with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday.

    The veteran tight end joined the Jets in late July but failed to make the team's initial 53-man roster Tuesday. However, Firkser is returning to New York after inking a deal with the Jets' practice squad Wednesday. He could be elevated to the Jets' active roster if one of the team's three active TEs misses time at some point this season.

  • Anthony Firkser: Let go by Jets

    The Jets released Firsker on Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

    The veteran tight end played in a career-low two regular-season games with Detroit last season, spending most of the campaign on the Lions' practice squad. It appears he may need to settle for another practice-squad role in 2024 in order to have a chance to make it back to an NFL roster. Firkser's best season came in 2020 with Tennessee, when he caught 39 passes for 387 yards and a touchdown over 16 regular-season contests.

  • Jets' Anthony Firkser: Links up with Gang Green

    The Jets signed Firkser to a contract Tuesday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    After being let go by the Patriots during training camp last August, Firsker caught on with the Lions' practice squad in October. He appeared in the Lions' final five games of the season, including their three playoff games after Sam LaPorta injured his knee in Week 18. Firkser's ability to play both tight end and fullback could give him a leg up on tight ends Kenny Yeboah and Zack Kuntz to make the 53-man roster.

  • Anthony Firkser: Joins active roster

    The Lions signed Firkser to their active roster Saturday.

    Firkser's signing could be an indication that Detroit is preparing to be without rookie sensation Sam LaPorta in Sunday's affair. If the Lions are without LaPorta in the wild-card round, Firkser would likely serve as the team's top backup tight end behind Brock Wright.

  • Anthony Firkser: Back to Detroit's practice squad

    The Lions signed Firkser to their practice squad Saturday.

    Firkser was cut by the Lions on Thursday after being signed to their active roster Dec. 30. With Brock Wright (hip) ruled out for Detroit's regular-season finale against the Vikings, Firkser could be called up to the active roster and operate behind Sam LaPorta and James Mitchell.

  • Anthony Firkser: Gets let go

    Firsker was waived by the Lions on Thursday.

    Firsker had signed with Detroit's active roster from the practice squad Saturday and had appeared in each of their last two games while Brock Wright tended to a hip injury. Ultimately, this may be a procedural move for the Lions, and the Harvard product could find his way back on the practice squad, especially with Wright still ailing and Sam LaPorta now on the team's injury report with an ankle injury.

  • Lions' Anthony Firkser: Added to active roster

    The Lions signed Firkser from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday.

    Firkser was elevated from the team's practice squad for last Sunday's win over Minnesota and played two offensive snaps without recording any stats. With Brock Wright (hip) deemed out Saturday versus Dallas and unable to practice at all during Week 17 prep, the Lions have decided to sign Firkser to the active roster rather than elevate him again. The third-year tight end will serve as depth behind Sam LaPorta and James Mitchell for Saturday's clash.

  • Anthony Firkser: Back to practice squad

    Firkser reverted to Detroit's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Firkser was elevated for Sunday's win over the Vikings with Brock Wright (hip) ruled out. He played two offensive snaps and 10 snaps on special teams but didn't record any stats. Now, the veteran tight end will await another opportunity to be elevated for game action. One such opportunity could come again Week 17 if Wright remains sidelined.

  • Lions' Anthony Firkser: Elevated with Wright out

    Firkser was elevated from Detroit's practice squad Saturday.

    Firkser could fill a depth role at tight end Sunday against the Vikings. He last appeared in an NFL game last season as a member of the Falcons. Brock Wright (hip) has been ruled out for the Lions, but Sam LaPorta and James Mitchell remain above Firkser on the depth chart.

  • Anthony Firkser: Goes to Lions' practice squad

    Detroit signed Firkser to its practice squad Tuesday.

    Firkser has been a free agent since parting ways with New England prior to Week 1, but he has now found another opportunity with the Lions. Detroit already holds four tight ends on its 53-man roster, though, so Firkser will have to make space for himself if he is going to find any at all.

  • Anthony Firkser: Cut by New England

    The Patriots released Firkser on Tuesday, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

    Firkser was looking to carve out a depth role behind Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki (shoulder), but he ultimately won't make New England's initial 53-man roster. The Harvard product has appeared in at least 11 games in each of his first five NFL seasons (four with Tennessee and one with Atlanta), so he figures to draw at least some attention in free agency but will likely have to settle for a practice-squad deal.
