Jabari Small: Everything you need to know

The Lions signed Small to a reserve/future contract Monday. Small was cut by the Lions in early August after reaching an injury settlement with the team, but he returned to Detroit's practice squad in late November. The running back did not appear in a contest during the season, but he'll now have the chance to continue training with the Lions during the offseason.

The Lions signed Small to the practice squad Sunday. Small was waived by the Lions in early August with an undisclosed injury but now finds his way back to the team after a three-month absence. If the running back is healthy, he could provide a strong depth presence for the Lions' offense.

The Lions waived Small (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Sunday. Small will be eligible to sign elsewhere in the league once healthy, whereas if he hadn't reached an injury settlement he'd likely have spent the entire season on IR with Detroit. He spent last year on Tennessee's practice squad.
