Reaches injury settlement
The Lions reached an injury settlement with Jefferson (undisclosed) on Friday and waived him off injured reserve.

Placed on IR
Detroit placed Jefferson (undisclosed) on the reserve/injured list Tuesday.
Analysis: Jefferson played 19 snaps (seven on defense, 12 on special teams) in Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs. It's not clear when he picked up the injury or the nature of it, but the 2018 third-round pick will now be forced to sit out the entire 2024 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Detroit.

Gets chance with Detroit
Jefferson signed with the Lions on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Jefferson played in three regular-season games with the Cowboys last season, logging six snaps on defense and 60 on special teams. He'll have an opportunity to compete for a roster spot with Detroit during training camp and would presumably take on a similar special-teams and depth role if he's able to make the squad.

Sticking with Dallas
Jefferson signed with the Cowboys' practice squad Wednesday, Patrick Walker of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Jefferson was released during final roster cuts but will now stick around in Dallas, albeit on the practice squad. The 26-year-old has seemingly recovered from a plantar fascia injury suffered during the first preseason game and could provide solid depth if called up for action.

Needs MRI
Jefferson suffered a plantar fascia injury during Saturday's preseason game against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Jefferson will undergo an MRI on Sunday to find out the extent of the damage. The 26-year-old is working to earn a depth role in the Cowboys' linebacker corps, so a quick recovery would definitely be ideal for the Texas product.

Ruled out for remainder of game
Jefferson suffered a foot injury and has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's contest with the Jaguars, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The severity of Jefferson's injury is unknown, and more information on his status will likely come following the game. The 26-year-old is competing to crack the active roster as a depth linebacker in 2023.

Signs new deal with Dallas
Jackson signed a reserve/future contract with the Cowboys on Wednesday.
Analysis: Jefferson joined Dallas last offseason and failed to appear in a game during the 2022 campaign, but he'll have another shot to secure an active roster spot in 2023. The 26-year-old has operated mostly as a special-teams option over his five-year professional career.

Heading to Dallas
Jefferson signed a contract with the Cowboys on Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jefferson joined Dallas after the team waived running back JaQuan Hardy in a corresponding move Thursday. The 2018 third-round pick out of Texas played 34 games over the first three years of his career, but he appeared in just one game with Indianapolis during the 2021 season. Jefferson likely will compete for a depth linebacker/special teams role with Dallas ahead of Week 1.

Lands in Indianapolis
The Colts signed Jefferson (shoulder) on Wednesday.
Analysis: Jefferson will provide the Colts with experience and depth within the linebacker corps, but he'll be well removed from the IDP radar. In 13 games with the Chargers last season, Jefferson notched just five tackles while mostly contributing on special teams.

Let go by Chargers
The Chargers released Jefferson (shoulder) on Friday.
Analysis: Jefferson's leaving Los Angeles after tallying five special-teams tackles during 13 games in the 2020 campaign. The 24-year-old linebacker will aim land a special-teams role elsewhere in the upcoming year.

Out for Week 17
Jefferson (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
Analysis: Jefferson won't play in the season finale against the Chiefs. The 2018 third-round pick has suited up in 13 games for the Chargers this year, recording five special-teams tackles. He'll be a restricted free agent in March.

Elevates from practice squad
The Chargers promoted Jefferson to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Jefferson failed to make the roster following training camp, but injuries have piled up and opened a roster spot for the 2018 third-round pick. He'll likely stick to special teams in Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

Let go by Chargers
Jefferson was waived by the Chargers on Saturday.
Analysis: There was some chatter the 2018 third-round pick could earn one of the final roster spots up for grabs with the Chargers, but the team opted for more depth along the offensive line instead. It's possible Jefferson's draft pedigree could elicit offers from other teams, otherwise he could make for a solid practice squad addition for the Chargers.

Waived by Browns
Jefferson was waived by Cleveland on Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Jefferson had played only on special teams this season and recorded just one solo tackle for the year all the way back in Week 1. The former Longhorn will now try to latch on with another club.
