A familiar face from the preseason is returning to help bolster the Detroit Lions’ shaky depth at running back. Per his agent, the Lions are signing free agent RB Mohamed Ibrahim to the practice squad.
Ibrahim spent the summer with the Lions as an undrafted rookie free agent from Minnesota. He saw steady work throughout training camp and got some preseason action, carrying the ball four times for nine yards. Ibrahim was waived with injury designation during the preseason.
His familiarity with the Lions offense is an asset. Detroit was down to just two healthy RBs, Craig Reynolds and practice squad member Devine Ozigbo, after Sunday’s win in Tampa Bay.
