Lions Make Surprise Waivers Amid Injuries | Detroit Lions News

Detroit Lions surprise fans by waiving center Seth McLaughlin and running back Jabari Small just days after finalizing their roster—both were initially on the 53-man squad. The timing? Injury-related: McLaughlin reportedly suffered a concussion, while Small had an undisclosed ailment. This move lets the team dodge injury settlements, a savvy financial play. With Small gone, the RB room now includes Jahmyr Gibbs, Jacob Saylors, and Sione Vaki (Pacheco still on IR). McLaughlin’s exit also thins depth behind starting center Juice Scruggs. Two roster spots are now open—and with GM Brad Holmes always looking to improve, expect more moves. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
