Lions Put Three On IR Including LB Devin White

All three will be sidelined for a minimum of four games before they’re eligible to return. White has a broken forearm that was surgically repaired. 

White, 28, was selected by the Buccaneers with the No. 5 overall pick out of LSU in 2019. He signed a four-year, $29,315,818 rookie contract that includes $19,340,596 signing bonus. 

The Buccaneers picked up his fifth-year option for the 2023 season. After playing out his rookie deal, White signed a one-year deal worth up to $5 million with the Eagles as an unrestricted free agent. 

However, he was cut by the team in October without ever having played a game. The Texans signed him to a contract soon after. White signed a one-year deal with the Raiders before joining the Lions this offseason. 

In 2026, White has appeared in two games and recorded nine tackles.
