Lions RB Zonovan Knight reveals he's fully cleared for training camp

[DSF]

Running back Zonovan Knight missed nearly all of his first season in Detroit after suffering a serious injury. Knight is ready to do more in his second season in a Lions uniform.

The running back known as “Bam” from his college and New York Jets days is now cleared for full activity. Knight tore the labrum in his shoulder in the Lions’ Week 5 win over the Panthers.

Knight joyously took to social media to announce the good news,

Just got officially cleared, been a long time but I’m back

! God is good

“Just got officially cleared,” Knight wrote. “Been a long time but I’m back! God is good.”

Knight was cleared for light, non-contact duty for the recent minicamp and OTAs. He took reps with the rest of the running backs and didn’t show visible signs of the injury. Being cleared for full contact means Knight will get to try and earn a roster spot during training camp at a very crowded RB position. The Lions added fourth-round rookie Sione Vaki to the mix that includes holdovers Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery and Craig Reynolds, all on the depth chart above Knight.
