Returns to IR
The Lions activated Heath (knee) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, per the NFL's official transaction report.
ANALYSIS
Heath landed on the COVID list due to a positive test, but as he was already out due to a torn ACL suffered during OTAs, the transactions have essentially been formalities. He can now return to team facilities.

2018 Fantasy Outlook
Heath increased his workload in 2017, his second season since joining the Texans as undrafted free agent out of Michigan State. He was part of the rotation at defensive end and will continue to be, although second-year man Carlos Watkins, a 2017 fourth-round pick out of Clemson, will challenge him.
