Moore, a former undrafted free agent, has been a standout on special teams for the Lions and is expected to continue in that role.

With this signing, the Lions have brought back a familiar face and bolstered their special teams unit. 

Entering his fifth NFL season, the 27-year-old has recorded 48 total tackles, one fumble recovery, one interception and two passes defended across 56 games played.
