The Detroit Lions decided to go light at running back when they released Zach Zenner last week, but quickly changed course Sunday.
The Lions were awarded running back J.D. McKissic off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks.
McKissic played for first-year Lions offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell for parts of the 2016-17 seasons with the Seahawks, but his primary role in Seattle has been on special teams.
