What happened: Detroit's remaining running backs are Jahmyr Gibbs, Jacob Saylors and Sione Vaki. The group follows Jabari Small's waiver ahead of the 2026 season.
Why it matters: The Lions will lean on Jahmyr Gibbs while two lightly used NFL backs fill out the depth chart. Backfield availability and special-teams roles could shape the remaining roster decisions.
By the numbers: Saylors has two career NFL carries and Vaki has seven, a combined total of nine.
What to watch: Watch whether Detroit adds another running back or keeps the current three into the regular season.
