Lions signed FB Jason Cabinda to a two-year contract extension.

3 years ago

The Lions moved Cabinda, a former linebacker, to fullback after signing him to their 2019 practice squad. The 25-year-old has appeared in 30 games over the past two seasons, making six starts. Cabinda will see most of his reps on special teams in 2022 after playing 242 snaps there last season.

Lions re-signed FB Jason Cabinda, OT Matt Nelson and P Jack Fox to one-year contracts.

All three were exclusive rights free agents, so their choices were to sign or pick up their ball and go home. A 2018 UDFA out of Penn State, Cabinda was ninth in offensive snaps amongst fullbacks last season. We would assume he will maintain a role under hard-nosed new coach Dan Campbell.

The Lions signed Cabinda to the 53-man roster from their practice squad Tuesday.

The 23-year-old spent his first and only NFL season in 2018 with the Raiders, logging 21 tackles (14 solo) in 10 games. It's unclear what sort of role Cabinda will have in the defense for Week 14, but barring injuries, it likely won't be much more than a reserve role.
