The Lions waived Marquez on Tuesday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marquez suited up for Monday's season opener against the Jets and played 15 total snaps, including seven on offense. He didn't record a catch. The Lions brought in reserve lineman Jamil Demby to fill Marquez' void on the roster.

Marquez has secured a spot on the Lions' 53-man roster, Kyle Meinke of MLive Media Group reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marquez finished the preseason as Pro Football Focus' top-graded player on special teams and is likely sticking around in Detroit for very similar reasons.

Marquez (leg) played nine special-teams snaps during Friday's preseason game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Marquez was dealing with a leg injury in training camp, but his participation in Friday's exhibition suggests the receiver has put the issue behind him. Marquez currently seems like a longshot to make the Lions' final roster given the crowded nature of the team's receiving corps, though he still has two more preseason games to make a name for himself on special teams.

Marquez injured his leg during practice Monday and was unavailable for practice Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marquez appeared in just one game for the Lions in 2017 after appearing in 30 games between his first two seasons with the Rams. His positioning on the team doesn't appear all that stable entering 2018, so missing time due to injury won't do him any favors. No further information on his status has been released, so it's best to consider him day-to-day unless something surfaces to refute that.

Marquez didn't record an offensive snap in 2017.

EDGE Analysis

Marquez spent the majority of the year on the Rams' injured reserve list with an unspecified knee injury and didn't sign with Detroit until late November, only seeing game action on special teams during the season finale. The Texas Tech product remains under contract with the Lions in 2018 but will need to carve out some sort of role in the offseason to secure a spot on the final 53-man roster.

The Lions signed Marquez to a contract Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Marquez, who appeared in 30 games with the Rams over the past two seasons, will step in as the Lions' new No. 5 wide receiver after the team waived Jace Billingsley last week. If Marquez is active on future game days, most of his snaps are likely to come on special teams.

Marquez (knee) was waived from injured reserve Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marquez ended the 2016 campaign on IR with an undisclosed knee injury and was again placed on IR this summer since he, presumably, wasn't able to recover in time for training camp. Fortunately, he's now 100-percent healthy and, if he clears waivers, will be eligible to sign with any team other than the Rams during the rest of the season.

Marquez (knee) reverted to injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Marquez was waived/injured Monday after dealing with a knee injury for most of training camp and reverts to IR after clearing waivers. He's likely stuck there throughout the end of the 2017 season, barring an injury settlement.

Marquez was waived by the Rams on Monday, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marquez had been dealing with a knee injury for much of training camp and just wasn't able to prove himself on the field. There's a chance he can find a new home elsewhere, but he'll have to stay healthy if he is able to do so.

Marquez (knee) is expected to be fully healthy for training camp, ESPN's Alden Gonzalez reports.

EDGE Analysis

Marquez ended the 2016 season on injured reserve due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 15. The Texas Tech product is coming off a season in which he logged the fifth-most snaps on special teams for the Rams and will likely need to earn his keep in that phase of the game once again in order to secure a roster spot ahead of Week 1.
