The Detroit Lions reversed course on one of their more controversial roster-making decisions. A day after keeping running back Jermar Jefferson on the initial 53-man roster, the Lions waived the second-year RB to make room for new DT Benito Jones.
The Lions claimed Jones off waivers from the Miami Dolphins after that team waived him on Tuesday. To make room on the 53-man roster, the Lions waived Jefferson. The move leaves the Lions with just three running backs on the active roster: D’Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams and Craig Reynolds.
