Jefferson played 19 snaps (seven on defense, 12 on special teams) in Saturday's preseason game against the Chiefs.

Lions' Malik Jefferson: Gets chance with Detroit
Jefferson signed with the Lions on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Jefferson played in three regular-season games with the Cowboys last season, logging six snaps on defense and 60 on special teams. He'll have an opportunity to compete for a roster spot with Detroit during training camp and would presumably take on a similar special-teams and depth role if he's able to make the squad.

Jefferson joined Dallas last offseason and failed to appear in a game during the 2022 campaign, but he'll have another shot to secure an active roster spot in 2023. The 26-year-old has operated mostly as a special-teams option over his five-year professional career.

Cowboys' Malik Jefferson: Heading to Dallas
Jefferson signed a contract with the Cowboys on Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

The 2018 third-round pick out of Texas played 34 games over the first three years of his career, but he appeared in just one game with Indianapolis during the 2021 season.
