Minimal offensive role Cabinda was targeted once but did not catch a pass during Sunday's 41-33 loss to San Francisco.

Impact After seeing a handful of offensive snaps per game last year, the starting fullback was used in a similarly minimal way with Detroit's new coaching staff in Week 1. If that usage holds, Cabinda's main contributions this year will likely come on special teams, where he logged over half of the available snaps Sunday.

Lone fullback on roster Cabinda is the lone fullback on the Lions roster after Nick Bawden (undisclosed) was let go, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

Impact Bawden's injury troubles opened the door for Cabinda to operate as Detroit's top fullback last year. With Bawden now out of the picture completely, Cabinda seems to have little competition for Detroit's starting fullback role entering the 2021 campaign.

Signs tender Cabinda signed his exclusive rights tender Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact The 25-year-old fullback played all 16 games for the Lions last season. He averaged fewer than 10 offensive snaps per game, but he finished third on the team with seven special-teams tackles. Cabinda will likely handle a similar role in 2021.

Three touches in 2020 Cabinda carried once for no yards and caught two of three targets for eight yards over 16 games in 2020.

Impact After filling in for Nick Bawden (undisclosed) down the stretch of the 2019 campaign, Cabinda again assumed the Lions' fullback duties in 2020 once Bawden suffered another season-ending injury in training camp last summer. Cabinda not only made it through 16 games but he seemed to fare well in that role despite not getting many touches. Given his status as an exclusive-rights free agent, Detroit can easily retain the Penn State product for another year on the cheap, if it wants.

Catches pass Cabinda caught his only target for a four-yard gain during Sunday's loss to Minnesota.

Impact Cabinda has yet to be used on a rushing attempt in his career, but the converted linebacker has now caught two passes for Detroit in 2020.

Cleared for Week 2 Cabinda (ankle) won't carry an injury tag into Sunday's game versus the Packers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Impact Cabinda elevated to full participation Friday and is ready for a second straight divisional matchup. In the season opener, he played 18 percent of offensive snaps, but he's more of a special teams contributor than anything else.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Wednesday Cabinda (ankle) was limited during Wednesday's practice, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Impact Cabinda played 14 offensive snaps and another 20 on special teams in Week 1, but he's being held back in practice. It doesn't seem too serious since he can still operate in some capacity, but the Lions don't have another fullback on the active or practice roster if Cabinda can't play against the Packers on Sunday.

Getting shot at fullback Cabinda could play fullback this season, Benjamin Raven of MLive.com reports.

Impact Cabinda has been practicing as both a linebacker and a fullback in training camp this summer. With incumbent starting fullback Nick Bawden (undisclosed) set to miss another extended period of time, it's possible Cabinda could take over the starting job at the position. Another option the Lions have is Isaac Nauta, who is listed as a tight end but filled in at fullback for Bawden down the stretch during the 2019 season.
