Lions activate LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin

The Lions will have linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin back for Monday night’s game against the 49ers.

Reeves-Maybin has been activated from injured reserve. He has missed the last eight games with a neck injury and was listed as questionable to play on the team’s final injury report.

Reeves-Maybin had 11 tackles and a forced fumble while playing on both defense and special teams in the first eight games of the season.

The Lions announced that they have also elevated running back Jermar Jefferson and defensive lineman Chris Smith from the practice squad. Both players will revert back after Monday night’s game is over.
