Zonovan Knight Joins Lions Active Roster

Zonovan Knight Joins Lions Active Roster

one year ago

The Detroit Lions signed running back Zonovan Knight from their practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Tuesday with David Montgomery (thigh) injured. Montgomery is not expected to play in Week 3 against the Atlanta Falcons and could miss even more time beyond that after getting hurt in the Week 2 overtime loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, so Knight will provide more backfield depth for Detroit behind rookie first-rounder Jahmyr Gibbs and Craig Reynolds. The 22-year-old Knight will strictly be providing depth for Detroit's backfield for now until Montgomery is able to return, and he's unlikely to have a significant role this weekend against the Falcons.
