Malik Jefferson Latest News
Reaches injury settlement
The Lions reached an injury settlement with Jefferson (undisclosed) on Friday and waived him off injured reserve. Jefferson will no longer be on the injured reserve list as he goes through the waiver process and tries to find a new team. The linebacker appeared in three games in the 2023 season and logged three tackles (one solo).
Placed on IR
Detroit placed Jefferson (undisclosed) on the reserve/injured list Tuesday. Jefferson played 19 snaps (seven on defense, 12 on special teams) in Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs. It's not clear when he picked up the injury or the nature of it, but the 2018 third-round pick will now be forced to sit out for the entire 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Detroit.
Gets chance with Detroit
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.
