The Detroit Lions continue to fine-tune their roster ahead of training camp, officially signing former Tennessee running back Jabari Small.
Small, who went undrafted this year, brings SEC experience and tough, north-south running to Detroit’s backfield. Though not a flashy addition, he’s the kind of grinder who could quietly make noise in camp. He rushed for over 2,000 yards and 24 touchdowns during his college career, showcasing steady production and pass protection chops.
With injuries already impacting the depth chart and competition heating up, Small could be a timely signing for a Lions team looking to find the right balance behind Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.
It’s a low-risk, high-effort move — and a chance for another underdog to prove he belongs in the Motor City.
