Days after preseason contests are always busy with transactions, and Sunday is no exception. A day after losing the second exhibition game to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Detroit Lions signed safety Scott Nelson to the active roster.
Nelson is in his second NFL season, spending 2022 primarily on the Pittsburgh Steelers practice squad, He originally signed as an undrafted free agent with the Seattle Seahawks. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound Nelson played collegiately at Wisconsin. He’s a Detroit native and a graduate of Jesuit High School.
To make room for Nelson, the Lions waived running back Mohamed Ibrahim with an injury designation. Ibrahim, an undrafted rookie from Minnesota, has been sidelined with an injury and lost the early momentum to make the roster he established in minicamp.
