The Detroit Lions waived running back Kye Robichaux from injured reserve with an injury settlement on August 24, 2026, following a foot injury sustained in preseason. Initially waived with an injury designation after suffering a likely broken bone in his foot during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals, Robichaux's situation shifted with the settlement, making him a free agent. His departure coincides with injury-related roster changes within the Lions' running back group, leading to the addition of Trayveon Williams. While he is no longer on the 53-man roster, the settlement leaves open the possibility of a return later in the season, similar to Ahmed Hassanein's situation in the past.
