Dalyn Dawkins: Back with Detroit
Dawkins signed with the Lions' practice squad Thursday, per the team's official Twitter account.
Dawkins was with Detroit's practice squad as recently as last Saturday, but the team decided to let him go ahead of Sunday's tilt with the Falcons. Rookie D'Andre Swift and veteran Adrian Peterson (abdomen) have been the lead backs for the Lions thus far this season, but a sudden injury designation and limited practice session from Peterson on Thursday may have incentivized the team to add depth. Upcoming Week 8, Detroit will face a Colts rush defense that so far ranks as the NFL's No. 3 unit.

Titans' Dalyn Dawkins: Tallies nine touches
Dawkins carried the ball nine times for 24 yards in the team's Week 16 loss to the Saints.
Dawkins was promoted to the active roster one day before the contest, primarily due to the absence of Derrick Henry (hamstring). He worked in periodically behind Dion Lewis and was largely held in check before managing to rip off a 14-yard run early in the final quarter. Henry is expected to return for the team's pivotal Week 17 matchup against the Texans, which would make Dawkins an afterthought.

Titans' Dalyn Dawkins: First career carries
Dawkins carried the ball twice and gained two yards in Week 6 against Denver.
Dawkins was promoted to the 53-man roster Tuesday and earned the first regular-season carries of his career Sunday. He wasn't particularly effective, notching only one yard on each of his carries, though it is worth noting that he earned one more rushing attempt than Dion Lewis. Still, Derrick Henry will dominate the action out of the Titans' backfield so long as he remains healthy.
