Leake was waived by the Lions on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Leake spent last season on Washington's practice squad, and he'll hope to earn a practice squad role somewhere again in 2021, as the 23-year-old running back is unlikely to make a roster at this point.

Leake signed with the Lions on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Leake was let go by Washington in early April, but he'll serve as depth in the Lions' backfield after Michael Warren (undisclosed) was waived/injured Wednesday. The 23-year-old spent most of the 2020 campaign on Washington's practice squad, and he's a long shot to make the Lions' 53-man roster in 2021.

EDGE Analysis
Leake's NFL debut looks to be in store for Sunday's game against the 49ers with Antonio Gibson (toe) sidelined. An undrafted rookie out of Maryland, Leake generated 736 yards and eight touchdowns on 102 carries (7.2 yards per carry) and caught nine passes for 55 yards in his final collegiate season. His work projects to be minimal behind J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber.

The Football Team placed Leake on the practice squad COVID-19 list Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Leake signed with Washington's practice squad Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The Maryland product had his most recent opportunity with the Giants in training camp, but he ultimately did not show enough to carve out a spot on the team's 53-man roster or practice squad. Now provided with an opportunity for divisional rival Washington, Leake stands as a developmental RB option while Antonio Gibson, J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber split positional duties on the active roster.
