The Lions waived rookie tight end Luke Deal after an injury and have brought in running back Jacob Saylors. This is a guy who is coming off a season with the St. Louis Battlehawks of the UFL in which he ran for 499 yards and five touchdowns en route to making the All-UFL team.
Saylors spent five years at East Tennessee State and was a solid running back there. He ran for 1,309 yards and 15 touchdowns in his senior season. This allowed him to enter the 2023 NFL Draft.

He could have a chance to make the practice squad if he balls out.
