Lions make it official, sign Justin Jackson and waive RB Greg Bell

The reported signing of veteran running back Justin Jackson has now been made official. The Lions announced that Jackson signed back with the team on Saturday.

Jackson returns after being an unrestricted free agent following the 2022 season. He was the Lions’ No. 3 RB for most of his first season, as well as Detroit’s primary kick returner. The 27-year-old from Northwestern spent his first four seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers.

To make room for Jackson on the 90-man roster, Detroit waived running back Greg Bell. The second-year back from San Diego State spent his rookie season in Detroit on injured reserve after being hurt during training camp last summer. Bell is subject to waiver claims.
