Dorsey (lower leg) is seemingly healthy once again, Nolan Bianchi of the Lions' official site reports.
Dorsey has recovered from a lower leg injury suffered last month. The 26-year-old should serve as Detroit's starting kick returner and could also add value as a depth defensive back.

Sustains leg injury
Published: 2024-06-05
Dorsey was carted to the locker room with a lower leg injury just as Wednesday's practice ended, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
Dorsey signed with Detroit last offseason and won the team's starting kick returner duties, tallying 244 return yards in 2023. The 26-year-old cornerback was slated to compete for a depth role in the Lions' secondary as the offseason progressed, but that opportunity could be in jeopardy after Dorsey was carted off the field Wednesday.
Back with Detroit
Published: 2024-03-14
The Lions re-signed Dorsey on Thursday.
Detroit opted not to tender Dorsey as an exclusive rights free agent a couple weeks back, but the two sides were able to come to a compromise to get him back in the fold. Dorsey saw most of his action on special teams last season.
Allowed to hit free agency
Published: 2024-02-28
The Lions will not tender exclusive rights free agent Dorsey, allowing him to reach unrestricted free agency, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Signed to Detroit's practice squad in December of 2022, Dorsey made the Lions' roster in 2023, appearing in 13 games for the NFC North champs. He played just 80 defensive snaps, seeing most of his work on special teams, finishing with 11 tackles (seven solo) and 12 kickoff returns for 244 scoreless yards.
Given full participant designation
Published: 2023-11-08
The Lions listed Dorsey (knee) as a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Detroit didn't hold practice Wednesday, so this designation is just an estimate but is still encouraging news for Dorsey. The 25-year-old left the team's Week 8 win versus the Raiders with a knee injury but is now on track to make his return.
Questionable to return
Published: 2023-10-30
Dorsey (knee) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Raiders with a knee injury.
Dorsey left the game in the second half with a knee injury and is now questionable to return. Detroit now could be without a solid special teams contributor for the remainder of Monday's game.
Go to go Sunday
Published: 2023-10-15
Dorsey (illness) is active for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay.
Dorsey was activated from injured reserve Saturday and will be active for his first game back. Dorsey operated exclusively on special teams during his lone appearance of the season, but he could see an increased defensive role over the next couple of weeks with Emmanuel Moseley (knee) on injured reserve.
Activated from IR
Published: 2023-10-14
The Lions activated Dorsey (illness) from injured reserve Saturday.
Dorsey is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, however he was a full participant in practice both Thursday and Friday. His return would be a welcome one for the Lions' secondary after the team placed fellow cornerback Emmanuel Moseley (knee) on IR.
Returns to practice
Published: 2023-10-11
Dorsey (illness) was a full participant Wednesday after he was designated to return to practice from Detroit's injured reserve, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.
Dorsey has been sidelined while dealing with an illness on Detroit's injured reserve over the last four games. The 25-year-old will have 21 days to practice before he must either be restored to the active roster or revert to IR for the remainder of the season. Dorsey's ability to immediately practice in full appears to indicate that he should return to in-game action relatively soon.
