Jefferson (undisclosed) reverted to Detroit's injured reserve Wednesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Scouting Report
His wrecking-ball rushing style can wear defenses down, and he showed promise in his early NFL opportunities. Has good vision but is more of a masher than a slasher. He lacks the burst of a true No. 1 running back but owns the consistency and physicality to hold down a roster spot.
Long Range Potential: Physical depth running back.
