Lions' Jacob Saylors: Leads team in rushing
Saylors turned nine carries into 35 yards and caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Friday's 17-10 preseason win over Atlanta.
Saylors saw the most touches out of the backfield in the Lions' second preseason contest, producing 3.9 yards per carry. The 24-year-old was also able to flex his pass-catching ability in the contest, notching a pair of receptions, which was tied for the second most on the team. Saylors impressed enough to stick around for another week as he continues to battle for a spot on Detroit's 53-man roster.

Lions' Jacob Saylors: Lands with Lions
Detroit signed Saylors to a contract Monday.
Saylors went undrafted out of East Tennessee State in 2023, and he's since logged offseason stints with the Bengals, Giants and Browns while also spending time on the Falcons' practice squad as a rookie. However, Saylors has also accrued 960 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns while adding a 45-397-3 receiving line across 18 regular-season games with the St. Louis Battlehawks of the UFL over the spring league's last two seasons. He's still vying for a chance to make his NFL regular-season debut.

Jacob Saylors: Headed for free agency
Saylors was waived by the Browns on Monday, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealerreports.
Saylors joined Cleveland after being let go by the Giants on Aug. 11. He'd also spent time in camp with the Bengals and on the Falcons' practice squad in 2023 after going undrafted out of East Tennessee State, and he'd rushed for 461 yards at an impressive 4.9 yards per carry while adding a 23-152 receiving line for the UFL's St. Louis Battlehawks this past spring.

Jacob Saylors: Let go by Big Blue
The Giants waived Saylors on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
After ending the 2023 season on the Falcons' injured reserve, Saylors caught on with the Giants in June. He played eight snaps in Thursday's 14-3 preseason win over the Lions, but all of them were on special teams. Saylors' path to the Giants' 53-man roster was always going to be a tough one, and the 23-year-old running back will now explore his next options assuming he clears waivers.

Giants' Jacob Saylors: Joining Big Blue
Saylors has agreed to terms on a contract with the Giants, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Saylors joined the Bengals' roster prior to the 2023 season as an undrafted free agent before getting waived during final roster cuts. He ultimately landed with the Falcons' practice squad in October. He then suffered an undisclosed injury in November that landed him on injured reserve. With his addition to New York's roster, it looks like he is good to go heading into the 2024 season. There are five other running backs on the roster, so Saylors figures to have his work cut out for him going forward.
