The Lions re-signed Carey on Tuesday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

The Jaguars waived Carey (hamstring) from injured reserve with a settlement Tuesday, Mike Kaye of FirstCoastNews.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran safety played at least 13 games in each of the last five seasons, but he was relegated to special teams in 2017, making just nine tackles. Once he's healthy, he'll look to carve out a depth role on another roster.

The Jaguars placed Carey (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday, Mike Kaye of FirstCoastNews.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carey was looking to earn a role providing depth in the secondary for the Jaguars before going down with a hamstring injury. He will spend the season on the sidelines unless he and the team ultimately reach an injury settlement.

Carey (hamstring) did not participate in Monday's practice, John Oehser of the Jaguars' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carey suffered a hamstring injury during Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings and did not return, and it looks like it is somewhat severe given that he's unable to practice. Until the Jaguars can provide an update on his health, consider Carey to be day-to-day.

Carey injured his hamstring during Saturday's preseason game against the Vikings and is considered doubtful to return.
EDGE Analysis
The team didn't disclose the severity of the issue, so it's possible the doubtful designation reflects the fact that it's a preseason contest. Carey needs to get as much preseason time in as possible to work his way on to the 53-man roster radar, so a serious injury could be detrimental to his chances.

Carey will sign a contract with the Jaguars, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Carey, who seems to be healthy after injuring his knee in Week 17, will return to Jacksonville after spending the past seven seasons with the Lions. The 31-year-old safety likely won't see many defensive snaps with the Jaguars but could prove to be a valuable asset on special teams.

Carey (knee) may require offseason surgery, Justin Rogers of the Detroit News reports. "It's too early to tell," the safety said. "I'll sit on the couch, let some of the inflammation and swelling go down, and we'll see what happens."
EDGE Analysis
Carey injured his knee during Detroit's season finale against Green Bay, but it appears the extent of his damage hasn't been confirmed yet -- though the safety did note that his ACL remains intact. The 30-year-old is set to hit free agency at the end of the league year and, especially with the Lions having fired their incumbent head coach and defensive coordinator, his future with the Lions is up in the air.

Carey suffered a knee injury in Sunday's game against the Packers and won't return, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Even though Carey has been declared out, this doesn't illustrate much about the severity of this injury, as the Lions have no need to rush him back in this meaningless matchup. More updates will likely be available after Sunday's game.

Carey (knee) is active for Sunday's matchup with the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Carey missed the team's past two games due to his knee injury. Now that he's active again he'll look to resume his special team's role, though it remains highly unlikely he has any role on the defense.
