The Detroit Lions have filled out their roster ahead of the start of training camp, signing running back Jabari Small, and cornerbacks DiCaprio Bootle and Tyson Russell, the team announced Friday.

Small, who went undrafted in 2024 after a four-year college career with the Tennessee Volunteers, replaces the roster spot previously occupied by undrafted running back Anthony Tyus III, who was waived Thursday with a non-football illness.

Bootle and Russell, meanwhile, give the Lions some added depth at cornerback.

Terms of the deals with Small, Russell and Bootle were not announced.

The Lions picked up three roster spots this week (now all filled), due to the waiving of Tyus, the placing of defensive tackle Levi Onwuzurike on the reserve/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list and the retirement of former center Frank Ragnow becoming official.

Small was a reliable contributor for the Volunteers over his final three seasons in Knoxville, totaling 2,005 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns following a quiet freshman season.

He signed with the Tennessee Titans as an undrafted free agent and spent the entire season on Tennessee’s practice squad after being waived on cutdown day.

Bootle went undrafted out of Nebraska in 2021 before making stops with the Kansas City Chiefs (2021-22), Carolina Panthers (2023) and Los Angeles Chargers (2024). Most of his defensive opportunities in the NFL came in 2023, when he started two games and played 183 total snaps as a member of the Panthers.

He was used mostly on special teams last season, logging 85 snaps across seven games.

Russell, an undrafted rookie from Vanderbilt University, was in Allen Park earlier this year for a tryout during Detroit’s rookie minicamp.

He spent four seasons with the Commodores, posting 92 tackles, five pass deflections and an interception in 44 total games.
