Armbrister, 24, originally signed on with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent out of Miami back in May of 2015. He was able to crack Jacksonville’s active roster and played out a full year with the team before being waived.
The Lions claimed him off waivers in September of last year and was also able to make the team’s active roster.
Detroit waived him back in September and signed him to their practice squad once he cleared waivers. He had a brief stint on their active roster this season.
In 2016, Armbrister appeared in 14 games for the Lions and recorded 15 total tackles.
