According to Pro Football Focus’ Doug Kyed, the Detroit Lions are expected to sign running back Jermar Jefferson to their practice squad.
Jefferson made the Lions’ initial 53-man roster on Tuesday, but he was subsequently waived in order to make room for defensive tackle Benito Jones, who was claimed by the team on Wednesday. Jefferson made it through waivers unclaimed, meaning he would be free to sign wherever he pleases. Unlike David Blough—who went through a similar process, but chose to sign with the Minnesota Vikings practice squad—it appears Jefferson will be landing back in Detroit.
