Pumphrey was waived by Philadelphia on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

After an impressive college career, Phumphrey has failed to make an active roster since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL Draft. He spent much of 2018 on the Eagles' practice squad and he may find himself there once again in 2019.

Pumphrey signed a reserve/future contract with the Eagles on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Pumphrey, a former fourth-round pick of the Eagles in 2017, signed with Philadelphia's practice squad in October after spending his entire rookie season on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. He will have another opportunity to make final roster cuts in the leadup to the 2019 campaign.

Pumphrey signed with Philadelphia's practice squad Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The San Diego State product was originally cut from the Lions' practice squad Sept. 26, and found a new team Tuesday. The Eagles have been in the market for running back depth after they placed Jay Ajayi (knee) on injured reserve. Pumphrey has yet to make his NFL regular-season debut after a torn hamstring kept him on injured reserve throughout his rookie campaign.

The Lions released Pumphrey from the practice squad Wednesday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pumphrey joined Detroit's practice squad after being released by Philadelphia, but was unable to carve out a depth position. The 2017 fourth-round pick saw his rookie season derailed by injuries, along with the subsequent 2018 preseason, and has yet to make his NFL debut. Pumphrey will look to catch on as a kick returner or depth running back elsewhere in the league.

The Lions added Pumphrey to their practice squad Wednesday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A 2017 fourth-rounder, Pumphrey was did not appear in a single regular-season game during his injury riddled rookie season. Pumphrey provides additional depth to a Lions running back room already consisting of Kerryon Johnson, LeGarrette Blount, Ameer Abdullah and Theo Riddick. The 23-year-old's 5-foot-9, 176-pound frame likely limits his potential as an every-down back, but Pumphrey could tentatively find a spot behind Riddick if he shows well as a pass catcher.

The Lions plan to sign Pumphrey, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Adding Pumphrey gives the Lions added depth behind Kerryon Johnson, LeGarrette Blount and Theo Riddick and probably isn't the best sign with regard to Ameer Abdullah's standing with the team. At 5-foot-9, 176 pounds, Pumphrey isn't ideally suited for every-down work, but he can at least provide Detroit with a change-of-pace alternative to Riddick.

The Eagles waived Pumphrey on Saturday, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A fourth-round selection in 2017, Pumphrey was injury-prone during his entire tenure with the Eagles and didn't appear in a single regular-season game. In reality, though, he had a tough path to a roster spot in a backfield composed of Jay Ajayi (undisclosed), Corey Clement, Darren Sproles and Wendell Smallwood.

Pumphrey (hamstring) participated in Tuesday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of NJ.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This coincides with the expectationv that Pumphrey was going to be able to play in Thursday's preseason finale against the Jets. Pumphrey is still considered a long shot to make the Eagles' final roster with the team boasting quality depth at running back already.

Pumphrey (hamstring) expects to see the field in Thursday's preseason game against the Jets, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pumphrey also said that his hamstring "feels good" after being limited in yesterday's practice. The 2017 fourth-rounder spent last season on injured reserve following a dismal training camp, but has bulked up since his rookie season. Even if Pumphrey can show well against the Jets, he isn't a lock to make the 53-man roster behind Jay Ajayi, Corey Clement and Darren Sproles.

Pumphrey (hamstring) will practice in a limited fashion Sunday, Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Earlier in the week Pumphrey said he was "100 percent," but the doctors are still exercising caution. The 2017 fourth-round pick has yet to play in a preseason game, and even if he plays Thursday against the Jets, it won't be against the starters. Pumphrey's odds are slim to beat out Wendell Smallwood for the No. 4 RB position.
