The Lions cut Carson on Monday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carson spent time with the Lions and Packers in 2019, even making a surprise start Week 8 and taking 12 carries for 34 yards. He then suffered a hamstring injury, which led to the Lions placing him on IR and then cutting him, only to re-sign him in January. The team is letting Carson go again after using second- and fifth-round draft picks on running backs D'Andre Swift and Jason Huntley.

Carson signed a reserve/future contract with the Lions on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Carson spent a few weeks in Detroit in the middle of the season, but he went down with a hamstring injury, landed on injured reserve and was subsequently released in early November. The 27-year-old finished 2019 with 18 carries for 48 yards and four receptions for 18 yards in three games between the Packers and Lions.

Carson worked out for the Lions recently, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

There has been no report that Carson reached a deal with the club as of yet, but at least he is seemingly healthy. The 27-year-old has seen time on both the Packers' and Lions' active rosters this season.

The Lions released Carson (hamstring) from injured reserve Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Carson got an unexpected start Week 8 against the Giants, taking 12 carries for 34 yards in a 31-26 victory. He then was listed on the Week 9 injury report, ultimately being sent to IR last Saturday. Carson could draw some interest as a back-of-roster depth option if/when he gets healthy. Meanwhile, the Lions have Ty Johnson, J.D. McKissic and Paul Perkins in their backfield.

Carson (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

This comes as a major surprise considering Carson was added to the injury report midweek with a hamstring injury. The Lions recalled Paul Perkins from the practice squad in a corresponding move, but this opens the door for both Ty Johnson and J.D. McKissic to receive the bulk of the backfield workload, a role that was supposedly expected of the duo until Carson surprisingly stepped in as the starting running back last week against the Giants.

Carson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Oakland, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carson was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant and logged another limited session Friday. He got a surprise start in last week's 31-26 win over the Giants, taking 12 carries for 34 yards while playing 31 percent of snaps on offense. A Week 9 absence would leave more work for Ty Johnson and J.D. McKissic, while Paul Perkins was re-signed to the practice squad Friday, perhaps implying some level of concern with Carson's health. Final word on Carson's status may not come until the Lions release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff.

Carson (hamstring) will take part in practice Friday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carson was slowed by a hamstring injury Thursday, but coach Matt Patricia told reporters that Carson is day-to-day and will be able to get some work in Friday. Carson's injury leaves his Week 9 status up in the air, but his ability to practice in some fashion Friday provides reason to believe he'll ultimately gain clearance to play.

Carson was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a sore hamstring, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carson wasn't included on the Lions' initial Week 9 injury report released Wednesday, so he may have picked up the hamstring issue at some point during Thursday's session. He'll have one more practice to prove his health in advance of Sunday's game against the Raiders, but if he can't play this weekend, Ty Johnson and J.D. McKissic will be the last healthy backs left standing on the team's 53-man roster. Carson led the Lions with 12 carries in a Week 8 win over the Giants, but he only managed 34 yards (2.8 average) and saw six fewer snaps than Johnson.

Carson carried 12 times for 34 yards during Sunday's 31-26 win over the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

In the absence of Kerryon Johnson (knee), Carson stepped up to lead the team in carries. Ty Johnson, Paul Perkins, and J.D. McKissic combined for 28 yards on 11 carries, leaving plenty to be desired from the running game in a favorable matchup. With Johnson slated to miss most of the remaining regular-season action, the team should continue to deploy a committee out of the backfield, though they also seem likely to lean even more on the passing game to move the ball. Carson could very well lead the team in carries in next week's road game against the Raiders, but a tough matchup could limit his usage.

The Lions claimed Carson off waivers Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Carson was let go by the Packers on Wednesday, and he now lands with a division rival. The Lions waived Paul Perkins to make room for Cason on the 53-man roster, paving the way for him to serve as the team's No. 4 running back behind Kerryon Johnson, J.D. McKissic and Ty Johnson.
