Zonovan Knight's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The New York Jets are signing Zonovan Knight to the practice squad, according to NFL Insider Tom Pelissero. "Bam" Knight was signed by New York as an undrafted free agent out of the 2022 NFL Draft class and rushed 85 times for 300 yards and a touchdown as a rookie with the organization. He spent last season with the Detroit Lions but has not been with a team in 2024. With Breece Hall and Braelon Allen healthy heading into Week 13, this is probably a mere depth signing and can be ignored for fantasy football purposes.

The Detroit Lions released running back Zonovan Knight on Monday. Knight spent his rookie season in 2022 with the Jets and 2023 with the Lions, albeit primarily on injured reserve. During the preseason, Knight had 24 carries for 75 yards and no touchdowns. He ran an inefficient 3.1 yards per carry during the preseason. Knight only carried the ball three times for 13 yards in 2023. He was not projected to see much work in the running game with the Lions in 2024. For now, Knight will have to hope to sign with a practice squad or an active roster in need of a running back.
