Two former Oregon State Beavers stars re-sign with the Detroit Lions
Jermar Jefferson’s solid performances during training camp and preseason earned him a spot on the Detroit Lions’ practice squad.
A day after being cut as the Lions’ reduced their roster to 53 players, the Lions signed the former Oregon State Beavers’ star running back to their practice squad, the team announced Wednesday. The Lions also signed former Beavers’ defensive tackle Kyle Peko to their practice squad.
Jefferson, who scored two touchdowns during the Lions’ 24-17 preseason win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, ran 14 times for 38 yards during the preseason. The Lions’ seventh-round pick (No. 257) in the 2021 NFL draft has also shown vision and explosiveness on the field, but what may have helped him this year was improvement in pass protection.
Jefferson, who hasn’t played in a regular season game since his rookie season, gets another opportunity to receive a promotion to the active roster during the regular season.
Peko, 31, signed a free agent deal with the Lions in May, but didn’t appear in any preseason games. He started in 10 games with the Tennessee Titans in 2023 and has appeared in 42 games (12 starts) since he signed with the Denver Broncos as an undrafted free agent in 2016.

MEDFORD, Ore. — Fire crews quickly knocked down a trailer fire Monday night that threatened a nearby home in the 3000 block of Table Rock Road, displacing one resident.
Firefighters responded around 9:20 p.m. Monday, May 4. Engine 14 arrived to find a trailer on fire and the flames threatening a nearby residence. Crews knocked the fire down within eight minutes of arrival.
No injuries to civilians or firefighters were reported. One resident was displaced as a result of the fire.
The cause is believed to be related to the use of an outdoor fire pit, where embers likely ignited nearby combustible materials. Officials said the fire spread from pallets and other items to the RV, causing extensive damage to the RV and minor damage to the exterior of the home.
With warmer, drier weather approaching, officials warned fire risk increases and urged people to follow outdoor fire safety tips. They recommend using a screen on outdoor fires when burning wood, choosing approved propane free-standing fire pits rather than wood-fueled options, keeping combustible materials at least 15 feet away, and discarding cigarettes, ash, embers and other smoldering materials in a non-combustible container filled with water.
Medford Police, Mercy Flights Inc. and Jackson County Fire District 3 assisted on the incident.
