Donnel Pumphrey Reportedly Signed to Lions Practice Squad After Eagles Release

The Detroit Lions will sign free-agent running back Donnel Pumphrey, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported Tuesday.

Rapoport added Pumphrey will join Detroit's practice squad and not its active roster.

According to Garafolo, the Lions "like [Pumphrey's] potential as a returner."

The Philadelphia Eagles released Pumphrey, who was a fourth-round pick in 2017, as they trimmed their roster to 53 players ahead of the regular season.
