Green (concussion) reverted to Detroit's reserve/injured list Tuesday after clearing waivers, per the NFL transaction log. Green hauled in all three of his targets for 13 yards in Thursday's preseason game against the Giants before leaving due to a concussion he sustained on a block attempt in the second quarter. The 2023 seventh-round pick was getting reps with the Lions' first-team offense alongside wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams early in training camp. However, now that he's on IR, Green will be forced to miss the entire 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Detroit.

Green (concussion) reverted to Detroit's reserve/injured list Tuesday after clearing waivers, per the NFL transaction log. Green hauled in all three of his targets for 13 yards in Thursday's preseason game against the Giants before leaving due to a concussion he sustained on a block attempt in the second quarter. The 2023 seventh-round pick was getting reps with the Lions' first-team offense alongside wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams early in training camp. However, now that he's on IR, Green will be forced to miss the entire 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Detroit.
The Lions waived Green (concussion) with an injury designation Monday. Green was a seventh-round pick by Detroit in 2023, but he will now head to waivers. The 24-year-old will look to catch on with another team after he recovers from a concussion suffered during last week's preseason matchup versus the Giants.
Green suffered a concussion in Thursday night's preseason loss to the Giants, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports. Green was injured on a block attempt in the second quarter. Prior to leaving, Green had reeled in all three of his targets for 13 yards. A seventh-round pick out of North Carolina last year, Green is trying to win a job behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams in Detroit's wide-open wideout group.
