The Lions signed Small to a reserve/future contract Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Small was cut by the Lions in early August after reaching an injury settlement with the team, but he returned to Detroit's practice squad in late November. The running back did not appear in a contest during the season, but he'll now have the chance to continue training with the Lions during the offseason.

The Lions signed Small to the practice squad Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Small was waived by the Lions in early August with an undisclosed injury but now finds his way back to the team after a three-month absence. If the running back is healthy, he could provide a strong depth presence for the Lions' offense.

The Lions waived Small (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Small will be eligible to sign elsewhere in the league once healthy, whereas if he hadn't reached an injury settlement he'd likely have spent the entire season on IR with Detroit. He spent last year on Tennessee's practice squad.

Small signed with the Lions on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Small spent the 2024 season with the Titans' practice squad after joining the team as an undrafted free agent. He'll battle for a roster spot during training camp but will likely face a tough path with the likes of Craig Reynolds and Sione Vaki already serving as depth for Detroit at running back.

EDGE Analysis
Small first joined the team as an undrafted free agent ahead of the 2024 campaign and spent the majority of last season on Tennessee's practice squad. He has yet to appear in an NFL game and will now look to catch on with another team.

The Titans signed Small to a reserve/future contract Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Small spent most of his rookie campaign on the Titans' practice squad, and he'll remain in Tennessee after inking a new deal Monday. The 22-year-old has yet to appear in an NFL game, though he was elevated to the active roster ahead of Tennessee's Week 3 loss to the Packers. Small will likely compete for a depth role in the Titans' backfield as the team heads into the offseason.

Small reverted to Tennessee's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Small was elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's 30-14 loss versus the Packers, but he was ultimately a healthy scratch and didn't see the field in Week 3. There's no obvious reason for him to be elevated again in Week 4.

Small (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Small was elevated from the practice squad Saturday to provide backfield insurance for the Titans in case Tyjae Spears (ankle) was unable to play. With Spears active for Sunday's game, Small will remain on the sidelines. Small can be elevated from the Titans' practice squad two more times this season.

The Titans elevated Small from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Small signed with the Titans' practice squad in late August after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. Small's elevation provides insurance for Tennessee in case Tyjae Spears (ankle) is unable to play against Green Bay on Sunday.

The Titans signed Small to the practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Small signed with the Titans as an undrafted free agent following the 2024 NFL Draft. He worked behind Jaylen Wright at the University of Tennessee in his final season but still managed 475 yards on the ground while scoring two touchdowns. The Titans have only three backs on their roster, meaning Small could find his way to active status at some point this season.
