Former Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Jessie Lemonier died on Thursday aged 25
“We are shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of former Detroit Lion Jessie Lemonier,” the team said on Twitter. “Jessie was a model team mate and wonderful young man who is gone far too soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.” The Chargers also paid tribute to Lemonier, saying he was “gone too soon.” “Our hearts are with Jessie’s family, friends and loved ones,” the team wrote on Twitter.
After being waived, Lemonier was signed to the team’s practice squad before being elevated to its active roster weeks later. During his time with Los Angeles, he played in six games, making two tackles before being waived. He spent the 2021 season with the Lions, playing in seven games – starting two – finishing with 15 total tackles and 1.5 sacks. Last summer, he had been on the Arizona Cardinals’ practice squad, recording a sack in a preseason game, before being released.
