Lions, Seahawks Lose Rookie Safeties to Injury

The Detroit Lions placed rookie safety Dan Jackson on season-ending injured reserve after he suffered a serious leg injury in practice, with head coach Dan Campbell stating there is no clear timetable for his return. Jackson, a seventh-round pick from Georgia, had shown promise in preseason and was vying for a backup role. In a similar move, the Seattle Seahawks placed safety AJ Finley on injured reserve following a knee injury that is expected to sideline him for the entire 2025 season. To address roster gaps, Seattle signed linebacker Michael Dowell and long snapper Zach Triner, while waiving rookie Seth Coleman. The Lions also waived running back Kye Robichaux and signed cornerback D.J. Miller to strengthen their secondary. Both teams are adjusting their rosters and depth charts as injuries mount early in training camp.
