According to an initial report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Detroit Lions have claimed running back J.D. McKissic off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks.
McKissic is entering his fourth NFL season. He has been listed by the Seahawks as both a running back and receiver, but his primary function has been on special teams. He has just 50 carries and 36 receptions in his three seasons in Seattle, with almost all of that action coming in 2017. He was originally an undrafted free agent from Arkansas State.
