The 25-year-old was initially signed by Detroit as an undrafted free agent this spring. He was trending in the right direction until he suffered an injury in the Lions’ second preseason game.

The Lions will more than likely be rolling with Jahmyr Gibbs as their lead back and Craig Reynolds backing him up.
