The 49ers signed Lucas to a one-year deal Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 2022 seventh-round pick spent the first two seasons of his career with the Lions, but he's now found a new home in San Francisco. Lucas primarily served as a member of the special-teams units in Detroit, playing a total of 311 snaps (305 on special teams) and recording four tackles across the last two years. He's expected to compete for a similar role in San Francisco this offseason.

Lucas (illness) is practicing in full ahead of Sunday's Week 5 game against the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Lucas exited Week 4 early with the illness but appears ready to go for Sunday after the Lions played last Thursday night. The 2022 seventh-round pick has yet to see any action on defense this season but is a key cog on special teams for Detroit.

Lucas (illness) is questionable to return to Thursday's contest with the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Lucas exited the game early and it's unclear if he'll return. The cornerback was operating as an extreme depth option, so his absence won't carry much of an impact for Detroit.

The Lions signed Lucas off their practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lucas landed on the Lions' practice squad after failing to make it through final roster cuts following training camp. With cornerback depth a little thin, Detroit has opted to promote him for backup duties.

Detroit is waiving Lucas, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lucas was the Lions' seventh-round draft pick in 2022 and played in six games for the team last season, with most of his work coming on special teams. He had a strong preseason that included an interception this past Friday, but it wasn't enough to earn him a spot on the initial 53-man roster. Lucas appears to have a good chance of sticking with the organization as a member of the practice squad.

Lucas participated in OTAs on Monday and appears to have recovered from his hamstring injury.
EDGE Analysis
Lucas injured his hamstring back in December and ended up spending the remainder of the 2022 campaign on injured reserve, but he now seems to be healthy. The 26-year-old likely will be competing for a depth spot in the Lions secondary throughout the summer after logging three tackles (one solo) in six games last season.

The Lions designated Lucas (hamstring) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lucas, who's missed each of Detroit's last four contests while on injured reserve due to a hamstring issue, had his 21-day elevation window opened following his return to Wednesday's practice. Unless both the Lions and Seahawks win their respective matchups this weekend, the Week 18 contest versus Green Bay would be the rookie's last chance to suit up this year.

Detroit placed Lucas (hamstring) on its injured reserve list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Lucas apparently sustained a hamstring injury Friday during practice, and he'll now be forced to miss at least the Lions' next four games as he recovers. Detroit will need to try to find a way to replace his production on special teams in the meantime.

Lucas (hamstring) is out for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Lucas (ankle) was listed as a full participant on the Lions' injury report Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lucas has not played since suffering an ankle injury during Detroit's Week 7 loss to the Cowboys. However, the rookie appears to be healthy again after logging a full session during the Lions' first practice of Week 11. Expect Lucas to reprise a core special-teams role against the Giants on Sunday.
