The Lions reached an injury settlement with Jefferson (undisclosed) on Friday and waived him off injured reserve.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson will no longer be on the injured reserve list as he tries to find a new team. The linebacker appeared in three games in the 2023 season and logged three tackles (one solo).

Detroit placed Jefferson (undisclosed) on the reserve/injured list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson played 19 snaps (seven on defense, 12 on special teams) in Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs. It's not clear when he picked up the injury or the nature of it, but the 2018 third-round pick will now be forced to sit out for the entire 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Detroit.

Jefferson signed with the Lions on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson played in three regular-season games with the Cowboys last season, logging six snaps on defense and 60 on special teams. He'll have an opportunity to compete for a roster spot with Detroit during training camp and would presumably take on a similar special-teams and depth role if he's able to make the squad.

Jefferson signed with the Cowboys' practice squad Wednesday, Patrick Walker of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson was released during final roster cuts but will now stick around in Dallas, albeit on the practice squad. The 26-year-old has seemingly recovered from a plantar fascia injury suffered during the first preseason game and could provide solid depth if called up for action.

Jefferson suffered a plantar fascia injury during Saturday's preseason game against the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson will undergo an MRI on Sunday to find out the extent of the damage. The 26-year-old is working to earn a depth role in the Cowboys' linebacker corps, so a quick recovery would definitely be ideal for the Texas product.

Jefferson suffered a foot injury and has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's contest with the Jaguars, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The severity of Jefferson's injury is unknown and more information on his status will likely come following the game. The 26-year-old is competing to crack the active roster as a depth linebacker in 2023.

Jackson signed a reserve/future contract with the Cowboys on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson joined Dallas last offseason and failed to appear in a game during the 2022 campaign, but he'll have another shot to secure an active roster spot in 2023. The 26-year-old has operated mostly as a special-teams option over his five-year professional career.

Jefferson signed a contract with the Cowboys on Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson joined Dallas after the team waived running back JaQuan Hardy in a corresponding move Thursday. The 2018 third-round pick out of Texas played 34 games over the first three years of his career, but he appeared in just one game with Indianapolis during the 2021 season. Jefferson likely will compete for a depth linebacker/special teams role with Dallas ahead of Week 1.

The Colts waived Jefferson on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson spent time bouncing between the Colts' practice squad and active roster this season, but Week 16 versus the Cardinals was his only actual appearance with the team. He could be a candidate to resurface in Indianapolis, assuming he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Jefferson (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Jefferson was placed on the COVID-19 list last week but has since cleared the NFL protocols. The 25-year-old signed to Indianapolis' 53-man roster in mid-December and exclusively played special teams in his lone game appearance.
