The Detroit Lions have decided to bring back running back Craig Reynolds on a one-year deal. Despite not tendering him as a restricted free agent, which made him an unrestricted free agent, the Lions are expected to re-sign him.
Reynolds, 28, has been with the Lions since 2021 and has played in all 34 regular-season games over the last two seasons. He has primarily served as the team’s third running back and has contributed on special teams.
Last season, Reynolds rushed for 139 yards on 31 carries and had three receptions for 40 yards. He has proven to be a reliable and versatile player for the Lions.
The decision to re-sign Reynolds suggests that the Lions value his contributions to the team. He will likely continue to play behind starting running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery. Reynolds’ experience and special teams skills make him a useful asset to the team.
