Yahoo Sports NFL on Jacob Saylors
From the article
After being one of the most productive running backs this preseason, Saylors has firmly stamped his spot on the 53-man roster. He had 14 touches across the 38 plays the Lions ran on offense in the first half—and two additional targets—which means he was the guy Detroit went to on nearly half of their plays to start the game. His 12 carries in the first half went for 67 yards, and his two catches resulted in 12 yards... Saylors' strong play carried over into the second half where he continued to take advantage of the Colts' depth defenders and the Lions push up front, finishing the game with 17 carries for 100 yards.
STACKED’s take
Saylors secures roster spot with 100-yard preseason finale; positioned for Week 1 role.
Saylors has firmly secured his spot on the 53-man roster after a dominant preseason performance. In the preseason finale against the Colts, he was featured heavily with 14 touches (12 carries, 2 targets) across 38 offensive plays in the first half alone—nearly half the team's plays—accumulating 67 rushing yards and 12 receiving yards. He finished the game with 17 carries for 100 yards. Dan Campbell praised his performance, saying "Saylors is making a lot of runs. All those guys have had some runs, but Saylors is taking advantage of that and he's finding those creases." With Jabari Small suffering an injury on a kick return, Saylors could be in line for offensive touches in Week 1 against the New Orleans Saints if the Lions remain shorthanded at running back.
