Benny Snell: Cut by Detroit
The Lions released Snell on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Snell spent most of the offseason as a free agent but joined the Lions in mid-August. However, he was unable to secure a spot on the team's 53-man roster. After spending the last four seasons as a backup running back in Pittsburgh, the 2019 fourth-rounder will need to seek out other opportunities ahead of the 2023 campaign.

Lions' Benny Snell: Gets new opportunity
Snell signed a contract with the Lions on Thursday.
Snell remained on the market all offseason, but he's finally found an opportunity in Detroit. The 25-year-old spent the first four seasons of his career in Pittsburgh, mostly working on special teams. However, he did see 20 carries and gained 90 yards and a touchdown in 17 games last season. In a corresponding move, the Lions placed Justin Jackson on the reserve/retired list.

Steelers' Benny Snell: Limited to special teams in Week 18
Snell played exclusively on special teams during the Steelers' 28-14 win over the Browns on Sunday.
The 24-year-old lost out on his role as the No. 2 running back to undrafted rookie Jaylen Warren in 2022, and Snell wasn't on the field for any offensive snaps over the final four weeks of the regular season. The 2019 fourth-rounder rushed 20 times for 90 yards while securing both of his targets for 17 yards this season. Snell is set to become an unrestricted free agent during the offseason, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him seek out another team since he's lost out on work in Pittsburgh over the last two years.
