Cleveland signed Benson to its practice squad Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Benson was cut by Detroit prior to Week 1 of this season, but he's found another opportunity with a new team ahead of Week 10. A season ago with the Lions, Benson was active for just one game, playing just 11 snaps.

The Lions waived Benson on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Benson avoided serious injury in training camp and was able to return for the Lions' second preseason game against the Jaguars on Aug. 19. He finished the preseason with three catches for 16 yards in two games. He'll look to land elsewhere once he clears waivers.

Benson failed to record a catch on three targets in Saturday's 25-7 preseason loss to the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Benson was carted off the field with a seemingly serious leg injury early in training camp. However, he managed to return to the field for the team's second preseason game. Even so, Benson likely faces an uphill battle to make the final roster and his most likely fate may be a spot on a team's practice squad.

Head coach Dan Campbell indicated Wednesday that Benson (leg) has avoided a serious injury, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was possible to be pessimistic after Benson was carted off the field, but the pass catcher likely only suffered a sprain according to Kyle Meinke of MLive.com. The 26-year-old had his 2022 season cut short due to a knee injury, but came in to camp seemingly fully recovered. He is looking to earn a spot on the team's 53-man-roster, so a return sooner than later would be advantageous.

Benson suffered a leg injury in practice Wednesday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Benson needed to be carted off the field after suffering the injury. However, after evaluation, head coach Dan Campbell suggested it was just a sprain. The 26-year-old came into camp fully recovered from a knee injury that cut his 2022 campaign short, but now he'll have to deal with another setback. He'll work to get healthy as he tries to earn a spot on the team's 53-man roster.

Benson (knee) was seen catching passes on a side field during a recent minicamp practice, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis

Benson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Benson suffered a knee injury in Week 10 versus the Bears and was forced out of the contest early, and he will now be forced to miss at least four weeks while on IR. The wide receiver made his team debut in Week 10, and his absence will have little to no impact on the Lions' offensive game plan moving forward.

Benson (knee) was listed as a non-participant on the Lions' injury report Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Benson was signed off the Broncos' practice squad Nov. 9 and was forced out with a knee injury during his Lions debut against the Bears on Sunday. The 25-year-old wideout has been sidelined for each of the first two practices to open Week 11, so it appears he's in line to remain out against the Giants this Sunday. Benson will have one more practice to improve his status before Friday's final injury report, or else Detroit's active roster could be limited to just four healthy wide receivers versus New York.
