Reynolds, 27, carried for 179 yards and one score in 17 regular-season games with the Lions in 2023, and he also caught five passes for 47 yards. He also scored a touchdown run of one yard in the divisional playoff victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Houston, 25, has eight sacks in nine games (three starts) since being selected by the Lions in the sixth round in 2022.

Coming off last season’s 12-5 record and a trip to the NFC Championship Game, Detroit opened its voluntary offseason program on Monday.
