Bo Scarbrough’s 2020 season has not gone as planned. The Detroit Lions released Scarbrough on Saturday in a series of roster moves ahead of Week 8 of the NFL season.
It was roughly a year ago when Scarbrough signed to the Lions practice squad as a free agent. Ten days after his Nov. 6, 2019, signing, Scarbrough made his NFL debut in Detroit’s Week 11 game against the Dallas Cowboys, the team that originally drafted him out of Alabama. Scarbrough appeared in six games last season for Detroit, starting five games. In those games, he recorded 89 carries for 377 yards and a touchdown.
This year, Scarbrough was placed on injured reserve on Sept. 6. He was activated off of IR on Oct. 24, but not placed on the active roster for Detroit’s game.
Dallas selected Scarbrough in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He did not make the active roster out of camp and started the 2018 season on the Cowboys’ practice squad before being released Oct. 9, 2018. Scarbrough then spent time on the Jacksonville Jaguars practice squad before he was signed away by the Seattle Seahawks. With the Seahawks, he was inactive for the last two games of the 2018 season and then waived during roster cuts ahead of the 2019 season.
