Safety C.J. Moore is returning to the Detroit Lions after serving a one-season suspension for violating the NFL’s gambling policy, NFL Network reported Tuesday.

The deal is for one year, but financial terms of the contract were not disclosed.

The Lions signed Moore as an undrafted free agent in 2019 and he played in 56 games (one start) for Detroit. He took part in at least 68 percent of the Lions’ special teams snaps in each of his four seasons with the team and contributed 48 tackles, two passes defensed, an interception and a fumble recovery.

The Lions released Moore, 28, in April 2023 after he was one of five NFL players — including four Lions — to receive suspensions for gambling violations. Wide receiver Quintez Cephus, who like Moore served a season-long ban, signed recently with the Buffalo Bills after his reinstatement.
