Jefferson signed with the Lions on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Jefferson played in three regular-season games with the Cowboys last season, logging six snaps on defense and 60 on special teams. He'll have an opportunity to compete for a roster spot with Detroit during training camp and would presumably take on a similar special-teams and depth role if he's able to make the squad.
