Detroit Lions activate Jalen Reeves-Maybin from COVID-19 list, sign Darius Jennings, cut Drake Jackson

As the Detroit Lions begin Week 3 of training camp, linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin is finally ready to join his teammates as the team announced that he had been removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Reeves-Maybin re-signed with the Lions this offseason on a one-year deal, taking advantage of a new CBA rule that rewards teams for re-signing veterans that have been with the organization for the first four years of their NFL careers.

Beyond the financial benefits for the Lions and Reeves-Maybin, the new defensive scheme is also a much better fit than the previous one.
