Overview
- Jacobs announced the decision Tuesday on Instagram, saying his head had been "everywhere" as he chose to "start a new journey."
- He spent 2021–23 with Detroit, logging 40 games, 29 starts, 131 tackles, 23 pass breakups and four interceptions.
- A peak moment came in a 34-20 win over Green Bay, where he intercepted Jordan Love twice.
- His rise was slowed by a torn ACL as a rookie and a late-2023 demotion that preceded a stint on injured reserve for the Lions’ playoff run.
- After Detroit declined to tender him, he signed with the Rams in July 2024 and was waived with an injury settlement, worked out for Denver that December, signed with the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders in February 2026, and now will not play that season.
