Jermar Jefferson: Joins Cardinals' practice squad

Jermar Jefferson: Cut from practice squad
Tennessee cut Jefferson from its practice squad Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Jermar Jefferson: Signed to Titans' practice squad
The Titans signed Jefferson to the practice squad Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Jefferson was unable to make the Titans' 53-man roster after finishing the preseason with nine carries for 59 yards and one touchdown along with an 11-yard catch in three preseason games. The 2021 seventh-rounder will stay in Tennessee as part of the team's practice squad, but he could be elevated to the active roster for the Titans' regular-season opener against the Broncos on Sunday, Sept. 7 if Kalel Mullings (ankle) is not cleared to play.

Jermar Jefferson: Cut by Titans
Tennessee waived Jefferson on Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
Jefferson looked pretty good in limited opportunities during the preseason, rushing nine times for 59 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for an 11-yard gain. However, Tennessee decided it doesn't have room for the 25-year-old on its initial 53-man roster. Jefferson is a candidate for the Titans' practice squad if he clear waivers.

Titans' Jermar Jefferson: Efficient in final preseason game
Jefferson rushed the ball eight times for 41 yards in Friday's 23-13 preseason win over the Vikings. He added one reception on one target for 11 yards.
Jefferson was the final Titans' back to enter Friday's game, though he did mix in with Jordan Mims throughout the second half. Jefferson was the more efficient back of the duo, with much of his yardage coming on a 29-yard attempt that he immediately followed up with an 11-yard reception. His usage suggests he has a limited chance to make the roster heading into the regular season, though Jefferson did conclude the preseason impressively.

Jefferson appeared in two regular-season games for the Lions in 2024, posting six carries for 22 yards and one catch on as many targets for 10 yards. The 2021 seventh-round pick will use training camp and the preseason to audition for a spot on the Titans' 53-man roster.

Lions' Jermar Jefferson: Three carries in win
Jefferson rushed the ball three times for nine yards in Monday night's 40-34 victory over San Francisco.
Jefferson was elevated to the active roster for the second game in a row Monday, garnering three opportunities out of the backfield, two of which were goal-line carries in the first quarter.
