The Detroit Lions announced on Sunday they have waived running back Mohamed Ibrahim with an injury designation and signed safety Scott Nelson.
It’s a tough break for Ibrahim, who was one of the team’s higher-priority undrafted rookie signings. After a record-setting college career at Minnesota, Ibrahim came to Detroit with a real opportunity to make the team as the third or fourth running back on the roster. Unfortunately for Ibrahim, he suffered an injury in the preseason opener and has not returned since.
If Ibrahim clears waivers, he’ll return to Detroit on the injured reserve list.
